Placerville’s public art program is shaped not just by artists, but by the community itself.

If you have an idea for a mural, sculpture, installation, or creative placemaking project, the Public Art Committee invites you to share it. This process is designed to surface new ideas, explore potential locations, and build a diverse and meaningful collection of public art throughout the city.

Whether you are an artist, resident, organization, or business, your ideas can help shape Placerville’s cultural landscape.

This submission is an initial concept screening, not a final proposal or commission.

What This Is

It helps the Public Art Committee:

• Understand your idea
• Evaluate feasibility and alignment with the Public Art Master Plan
• Identify potential opportunities, partnerships, and next steps
• Selected concepts may be invited to move forward into a more formal proposal process.

What We’re Looking For

We welcome a wide range of ideas, including:

• Murals

• Sculptures

• Temporary or permanent installations

• Interactive or community-driven projects

• Artist-led or community-led concepts

Projects should aim to:

• Reflect Placerville’s identity, history, or future as described in the Public Art Master Plan

• Enhance public spaces

• Be accessible and engaging to the community

Who Can Submit

• Individual artists

• Artist teams

• Community members

• Nonprofits and organizations

• Businesses or property owners

You do not need to have everything finalized. Early-stage ideas are welcome.

What Happens Next

The Public Art Committee will review submissions periodically in the order they are received.

You may be contacted for:

• Additional information

• Clarification or refinement

• Discussion of feasibility or alignment

Not all concepts will move forward, but all submissions contribute to the broader vision of public art in Placerville.
