The City of Tacoma’s Environmental Services Department (ES) and Arts and Cultural Vitality Division (ACVD) are seeking an artist to create seventeen digital vector graphics for a public art installation at the Foss Waterway Seaport Esplanade.

The final artwork will celebrate this journey while reinforcing the importance of protecting aquatic ecosystems through the "If It Hits the Ground, It Hits the Sound" campaign.
