Spokane Arts is seeking individual artists or artist teams to submit proposals for small street murals located inside of new bike/scooter corrals to be installed throughout Spokane. These murals will be installed to designate bike and scooter parking areas and bring new artwork throughout the city. Exact sizes will vary, but will be approximately 100 sq ft. Applicants should submit mural proposals for a 8′ x 12′ space, but be prepared to adjust their design to fit specific size and location if selected for this project. Up to six artists or artist teams will be selected to install their mural at one of six locations.
An artist stipend will be awarded in the amount of $500. Spokane Arts will supply the necessary paint, materials, and supplies. Artists must use specific provided paint, which will contain a grit additive. Spray paint or other paint spray applicators may not be used for this project.
