DESCRIPTION

This RFP seeks vendors to provide public mural project services, inviting artists or artist teams to submit proposals for the design and installation of a public mural. The goal is to enhance the visual character of the city while celebrating community identity, culture, and creativity. The selected artist will create an engaging and visually compelling mural, incorporating the word as a central or integrated element of the design, and will be encouraged to interpret this creatively while remaining open to additional artistic ideas and themes.

The project aims to contribute to placemaking and community pride. The vendor must ensure the mural includes a maintenance and protection plan to preserve its quality and appearance over time. The artist will collaborate with the committee to refine the final mural design, execute the installation, and apply protective coatings suitable for long-term outdoor display.
