The Truckee Donner Land Trust is seeking to commission artists to create a pair of installations at the recently acquired Truckee Springs.
The land trust is planning on having a work of art honoring local Native American heritage, with installation planned for next summer. The group is also seeking a second project to honor the donors that made the purchase of Truckee Springs possible.
The Truckee Donner Land Trust has sought to acquire and protect the 26-acre section of open space along the Truckee River for roughly two decades. Last month it announced the acquisition of the property, which lies adjacent to downtown Truckee on the south side of the Truckee River.
