DESCRIPTION

The government authority in North Dakota is seeking vendors to provide services for an art and heritage discovery trail. Selected artists will contribute local literary art, visual art, performance art, or other forms of creative media. These works will be digitized and made accessible to the public through QR codes placed on semi-permanent signs along the trail.

Vendors interested in this opportunity should ensure that their artistic contributions can be effectively shared in digital formats and are relevant to North Dakota's local heritage. This initiative aims to enhance cultural engagement by integrating arts into public spaces through innovative use of technology.
