2025-26 First Friday Poster: Open Call
We are excited to accept submissions to find a local artist in the Las Vegas area to design the next series of First Friday posters! The selected artist will receive a stipend of $2500 and a year of booth space at the First Friday event each month from October 2025 to September 2026 to complete this project. We especially encourage emerging artists to apply. The posters should be original, non-Artificial Intelligence generated designs to showcase 12 First Friday events between Oct. 2025 and Sept. 2026 (date range adjustable if more time is needed) with flexibility to design them all at once in one project. The final selection will be made by an art jury reviewing submissions.
The deadline to submit is August 31, 2025.
Submission Requirements:
Be a local artist residing in the area of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Attach examples of your art, graphic design ability that would translate well to a poster, and/or anything else that best demonstrates your work! There is no specific or formal art background we are looking for. We also are not requiring or expecting any new mock ups as part of the submission, for ease and respect of your time.
As we obviously and unfortunately cannot select all of the many amazing artists that will submit for this project, we will only be in touch upon selection. We’re appreciative of everyone who takes the time to submit!
