HARRISONBURG, VA (Rocktown Now) — The Massanutten Regional Library is looking for a local artist to design a large mural in Downtown Harrisonburg as part of their 2025 Big Read celebration.

Submissions are due by January 5 and can be sent here.

The mural will be on the side of Central Library on Bruce Street.

MRL says they are looking for a design that demonstrates the theme of their vision which is “to be the welcoming heart of our community where all come to learn, discover, create, and connect. We intend for the painted mural to be permanent and provide a welcoming visual signal to our community for years to come.”

The prize will be $1,000.
