Publoic Art Mural 2.pdf

The Downtown Memphis Commission (DMC) and the South End Improvement Alliance (SEA) are collaborating to enhance the railroad underpass and trestle along G.E. Patterson Avenue in Memphis. They are seeking proposals for a public art mural project with a total budget of $15,000. The selected artist will design and install a mural on the northern concrete retaining wall and vertical columns supporting the trestle. The mural should be vibrant, reflect the music history of Downtown Memphis, and be completed by December 1, 2017. Artists with mural experience can submit proposals including an artist statement, design illustration, itemized budget, project timeline, contact information, resume, and examples of previous work. The application deadline is October 2, 2017. The project timeline includes the selection of the artist by October 16, 2017, and completion of the mural by December 1, 2017. The DMC reserves the right to not select any proposals, pending property owner approval and funding availability. Contact Brett Roler for further information.
