The Town of Garner invites artists to apply for the opportunity to design and create public art. This project provides artists with the chance to showcase their creativity while contributing to a meaningful civic space that will serve residents and visitors for years to come. The selected artist will collaborate with Town leadership and the Public Art Advisory Committee to develop artwork that reflects the spirit, creativity and community values of Garner.
