City of Tukwila: Invitational Public Art Opportunity
Artwork: Print -based Temporary Public Art
Budget: $3,000.00
Art Plan Description
The City of Tukwila invites artists to help transform public spaces into vibrant expressions
of community, culture, and connection during the Summer 2026 FIFA World Cup events.
Through a series of temporary public art installations, this initiative centers on
placemaking—creating welcoming, dynamic environments that bring people together and
celebrate shared experiences.
Guided by the unifying theme Tukwila United, the artwork will reflect the city's rich diversity
and the global spirit of the World Cup. Artists are encouraged to explore concepts of unity,
movement, identity, and belonging, drawing inspiration from both local stories and the
international energy of the tournament.
These installations will activate key spaces throughout Tukwila, transforming them into
festive, engaging destinations for residents and visitors alike. By blending creativity with
community pride, the selected works will not only enhance the visual landscape but also
foster a sense of connection, celebration, and collective identity during this historic
moment.
Jordan "Mari" Shibuya Artwork for Tukwila Project Description
The City of Tukwila is seeking to commission unique artwork to be printed as banner art to
enliven and activate the Baker Blvd pedestrian corridor between the Westfield Mall and the
Green River Trail. The artwork imagerywill also be placed at several event locations
intended to create visual cohesion, excitement, and amplify visibility for community
events.
The artwork design should in some way connect to the FIFA World Cup festivities. The artist
is welcome to explore both abstract and representational ways to interpret the soccer
tournament connection in their own creative style. We thinkyour artwork has a strong
connection to community, movement, and would capture the athleticism and exuberance
of the FIFA World Cup.
The City of Tukwila is seeking a professional artist with strong communication skills who is
willing to work closely with the city and the sign vendor to create successful public art
within the set timeline. There is a hard deadline for the artwork design and implementation,
as it coincides with the FIFA World Cup.

The artist will meet with project managers Beth Gahan and Michael May to discuss project
details and answer any questions. The artist will be expected to create a design draft for
