Opportunity: Creative Content Retainer (2026)

Aritistic Discipline: Film, Visual

Request for proposals: The Washington Trust for Historic Presentation is contracting with a photographer and videographer to capture the ongoing transformation of four of Spokane’s neighborhood business districts. This 8-month retainer focuses on documenting the momentum of the implementation lifecycle of 2-3 strategic projects and placemaking initiatives per district, including infrastructure improvements, public art, district landmarks, community events, volunteers, and other additional photographic and videographic assets as identified by the client.

We aim to build a library of high-quality visual assets for our websites, social media, and printed materials through the last year of the grant, and to share these with these districts. These assets will showcase the direct impact of community investment across these four vibrant neighborhood business districts in Spokane.

The Trust is the local contractor working with the City of Spokane on the
Spokane Neighborhood Business District Grant, activating nearly $2.5 million dollars of ARPA funding to
support the strengthening and sustainability of four of Spokane’s neighborhood business districts.

Please email for specifics on how to submit.

Eligibility: Applicants must be Spokane-based, with a preference for those with familiarity and experience in one of the four neighborhood business districts associated with the Spokane Neighborhood Business District Grant: Garland, Hillyard, North Monroe, and South Perry. Selection will be based on the following criteria: Portfolio and Technical Quality, Project Approach, Communication, and Management, Commitment to the Spokane Community, Inclusive and Human-Centered Storytelling Approach, Budget and Value
