ArtsFairfax, in partnership with Fairfax County Department of Planning and Development,
seeks artists to submit their qualifications to design digital artwork to be placed upon
windscreens in the planned Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) (“The One”) stations along a 7.5 mile
stretch of Richmond Highway in Southeast Fairfax County, VA. The project – titled Community Charm – will incorporate elements of the surrounding neighborhoods into the station design based on themes developed with each community.
Submissions will be subject to a panel review before selected artists are invited to create a
concept design for one or more of the planned BRT stations. Each final design will adorn a
large windscreen that runs the length of each station, an area approximately 60’ by 8’ (480
square feet) in size. The size and scale of the windscreen offers a unique opportunity for
artists to work with a large area for visual impact.
Eligibility: Professional artists, muralists, and graphic design professionals are invited to apply. Public art experience with comparable projects is recommended. Open to all artists and design professionals residing in the United States. Preference will be given to local and regional artists.
Applications must be submitted to Submittable by September 30, 2025 at 7:00 PM EST.
