The America 250 City Art Poster Project

The America 250 City Art Poster Project invites artists of all ages and experience levels to imagine, celebrate, and reimagine the stories that define Fort Worth and North Texas, while inspiring hope for the future of our country in honor of the semiquincentennial. From historic milestones to everyday experiences that shape community identity, artists are encouraged to explore the people, places, and values that make the city unique. The selected work will become part of a nationwide exhibition and celebration, offering Fort Worth artists rare national visibility and a chance to leave a lasting mark on America's cultural history.

All posters must remain nonpartisan and do not include political messages or inflammatory language. The final posters should commemorate the 250th anniversary with imagery that conveys civic pride, historical connection, and optimism for the next 250 years. Each poster should incorporate the name of the city and "America 250" in the design. Artwork size should be 24 x 32 inches, with a blank, 1/4 inch bleed on each side for potential display. The safe area should be 22 x 30 inches. Keep all important information within the safe area.
