ARTESIA MURAL TRAIL
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
The Artesia Arts & Cultural District is currently accepting proposals for a public art mural in our downtown area. This mural will be the latest in a continuing series of downtown public art installations, in support of the Arts in Artesia..
Project Description: The mural’s overall design should be timeless. The location’s setting and existing building elements should be incorporated into the overall design. In addition, the design can have an interactive component to it (such as a set of butterfly wings that people can pose with) that will engage pedestrians, but nothing that requires mounting, drilling, or any other method of affixing.
Subject matter should celebrate one or more of:
• The City of Artesia/Eddy County/New Mexico;
• local history/cultures/character/architecture/uniqueness.
All artworks must be appropriate for all ages. No: obscenities, nudity, sexual content, profanity, substance abuse, scary imagery, racism, violence, degradation or desecration of individuals/groups/cultural symbols, or gang-related designs. Artists will retain the ownership of design ideas submitted with this application. The winning design’s ownership will become the property of the Artesia Arts & Cultural District upon completion of the mural, along with all artwork produced for this mural.
