RFP CTA 2026-002 DRIVEN – A Monument to Connection

Carson City, Nevada, was a historic terminal of the Virginia & Truckee Railroad and the heart of Nevada’s rail heritage. The Carson City Culture & Tourism Authority (“CTA”) is seeking qualified artist(s) and/or firms (“ARTISTS”) to design, engineer, fabricate, illuminate, transport, and install a 69-foot-tall sculptural railroad spike.

This monumental installation will serve as a world-record-scale landmark, symbolizing Nevada’s legacy of connection, creativity, and endurance. The project will celebrate the region’s railroad history, industrial heritage, and creative future, positioning the region as a hub of arts, culture, and storytelling. This spike will be part of the Dust and Wonder Trail, a 16‑mile destination corridor, formerly known as the 3D Cultural Corridor, an initiative of Travel Nevada and stakeholders, currently funded through a grant to Visit Carson City.
