Animating Infrastructure in the Rutland Transit Center

The City of Rutland, VT received a grant from the Vermont Arts Council, which receives support in part from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. The grant is to be used to enhance the quality and sense of place downtown through the design of murals on pillars on the first level of the Rutland Transit Center located at 102 West Street in Downtown. These murals will help to create a welcoming space and showcase the region’s attractions accessible by bus.

Are you an artist who has a passion for making utilitarian spaces into vibrant community assets? Consider submitting a proposal of your potential art and renderings that could be picked to liven up the Downtown Transit Center pillars (first floor) by July 10th, 2026! Learn more about this grant and how to apply here.
