Current Calls
Snohomish County Soccer Ball Hunt
Snohomish County Arts Commission has opened a call for artists for the 2026 Soccer Ball Hunt! This countywide public art project coincides with major international soccer events coming to our region next year, which will bring many visitors and added visibility to Snohomish County. We will be installing five large-scale soccer ball sculptures that will be designed and painted by local artists as a way for us to celebrate our communities, our heritage, and our connection to the wider world through art.
This is a paid opportunity that directly supports our local creative sector. We are looking for artists who want to bring their vision and talent to a project that captures the spirit of Snohomish County. If you are an artist who might be interested, or if you know others in your community who would be a great fit, please share this opportunity! The full call for artists, including eligibility and application details, is available on our website: www.SnoCoArts.org/soccer
