Deadline Reminder: Submissions Closing Soon for SolTrans' Call for Artists

Solano County, CA – As Solano County Transit (SolTrans) continues its search for Bay Area Artists interested in leaving their mark on SolTrans’ Zero Emission Bus (ZEB) fleet, as the deadline for artistic submissions is fast approaching. Artists across the Bay Area and beyond are reminded to seize the opportunity to contribute to the region's sustainable transit narrative.

In May SolTrans extended the invitation beyond Solano County and welcomed artists from Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Yolo, and Sacramento counties to submit their work and be part of celebrating sustainable transit.

Embracing the theme of sustainability and connectivity within the Bay Area, artists are encouraged to craft narratives that resonate with passengers and onlookers alike, reflecting SolTrans’ commitment to advancing a greener transit future.

Artists interested in this public art opportunity are reminded to submit their entries before Wednesday, June 24, 2024. Up to three finalists will be selected to develop preliminary designs, with one artist ultimately chosen to bring their digital masterpiece to life on a SolTrans all-electric bus.
