Call for Art: Poster Design for Climate Solutions Week

Climate Smart Missoula is seeking an artist to design a poster for Missoula’s fourth-annual Climate Solutions Week, a series of creative and engaging events from September 26 to October 4, 2026. The week is focused on de-siloing climate and bringing everyone into the climate movement in a joyous way, no matter their background or skillset. We have events ranging from more formal roundtable discussions and building workshops, to a “climate carnival,” fashion show and tree plantings. This year, we are exploring the theme of “home,” particularly in connecting us all around stewarding this amazing place we live. The poster will be used to promote the week and generate excitement among Missoulians of many interests and disciplines. The final design should be original and suitable for both print and digital distribution.

The design should reflect the spirit and purpose of the week of events: finding joy in being part of climate solutions and stewarding this place we call home. “Home” in particular is a theme we would like to focus on this year. We believe this fall will be a divisive time as elections near; we would like to celebrate what unites us and to inspire people to see themselves as part of the climate movement. This week is meant to appeal to a broad audience across Missoula County. We are open to all visual styles and will offer our brand guidelines for color palette inspiration; we do not require you to only use our brand colors, however any border should be from our brand palette.

More information about the scope of the work, budget, timelines, and formats can be found in the Call for Art document below.
