Duvall's Main Street is scheduled to be upgraded in 2008/2009. With guidance from Duvall's Citizens Advisory Group, the engineering firm KPG led the street design upgrade and the nonprofit organization Pomegranate Center developed the Public Art Enhancements Plan, integrating art with the new Main Street.
CALL TO VISUAL ARTISTS Wood Carving
A proposed artistic enhancement for Main Street is the creation of hand-crafted wood carvings that will be attached to 10 street light poles along the new Main Street. City of Duvall and Duvall Cultural Commission requested RFPs from Artists in the Snoqualmie Valley in April 2008 who will carve wood pieces to be attached to the street light poles.
