Sparks, NV - The City of Sparks is thrilled to announce the launch of the Sparks City Hall Gallery-a new initiative dedicated to showcasing the work of local artists. This program features a rotating gallery located in the foyer of Sparks City Hall, with new artists highlighted every quarter.

The opportunity is exclusively open to Sparks residents to reflect pride and appreciation for the creative talents within the community. The gallery space, a 12 ft. x 7 ft. wall inside the main entrance of City Hall, experiences an average foot traffic of 2,000 visitors per month, offering significant exposure to the selected artists.

Artists are invited to submit a single body of work, consisting of 4-10 pieces, for consideration. The Sparks Arts and Culture Advisory Committee will review all submissions and select one artist to have their work displayed for a three-month period. There is no fee to submit.

"We're excited to create a new gallery space inside our own Sparks City Hall," said Special Events Supervisor, Raquel Monserrat. "This space will give our resident artists an opportunity to reach new audiences and art buyers, while City of Sparks employees are inspired by a local artist's work."

Interested artists should submit an artistic statement along with examples of their proposed body of work by September 23, 2024. For more information and to apply, visit cityofsparks.us/callforartists.
