Art Around Town: Fire Hydrant Edition

 The City of Arcata and Playhouse Arts are excited to announce the completion of the first Call for Artists – Fire Hydrant Edition.

A number of artists have been painting fire hydrants downtown along the G and H and Eighth and Ninth streets corridors. On Saturday, Oct. 7, join the City of Arcata, Playhouse Arts, and local artists, to celebrate this public beautification project, as well as all public art in Arcata during Pastels on the Plaza from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. Pick up a brochure detailing the hydrant art locations and participating artists, and enjoy the new public art in our city.

This Call for Artists was made possible through American Rescue Plan Act funding and an Infill Infrastructure Grant through the California Department of Housing and Community Development prioritized for public art and beautification projects, and seeks to implement the Arcata Strategic Arts Plan. A Content Review Panel composed of local arts and cultural leaders reviewed artist submissions and made selections for this first Call for Art. 

The City of Arcata Strategic Arts Plan consists of the following core elements: Arcata’s arts are highly valued, Arcata’s artists are fairly compensated for the work they do and Arcata’s arts and cultural life is equitable and accessible to all. The City anticipates launching a second Call for Art in spring 2024.
