Art in City Hall Returns for 2026 and 2027

The City of Pasco invites local artists to apply for the 2026/2027 Art in City Hall showcase. This program displays artwork from inside Pasco City Hall to help highlight the region’s creative community. In 2025, the program featured sculpture, photography, and paintings from artists across the area. The City looks forward to featuring additional works in 2026 and 2027.
 
Artists must be at least 13 years old, and residents of Franklin, Benton, or Walla Walla Counties. All visual arts are welcome, and artists of all experience levels are invited to submit applications, including pictures of the art proposed for display.
