Local artists: We want your art on BART!
Submit here
The BART Art Program is undertaking an effort to highlight even more local artists by inviting them to submit their existing artwork to be used in a variety of BART spaces, including stations, trains, and even BART Headquarters.
If you are a local artist aged 18+ and residing in one of the five BART counties -- Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara -- we invite you to submit your work!
The art we seek should reflect the BART system and its integral role in all of our lives in the Bay Area. We are looking not only for images of the trains, tracks, and stations -- though we know we will receive beautiful ones -- but also art that represents what makes BART the Bay and the Bay BART. How does the diverse geographies, geologies, and ethnographies you encounter on BART intertwine? How has BART influenced or inspired you as an artist?
Submissions must be made through our Submittable platform by March 23 at 11pm PDT. The total number of applications will be limited to 400 (applicants not images), so we encourage you to apply early to ensure consideration. BART will be licensing the images; this is not an artwork purchase program.
What: Request for local artists to submit their BART-esque artwork
More info/rules: Request for Submissions
Submission portal: Submittable
Deadline: March 23, 11pm PDT, or until 400 applicants have submitted
