Mural will be in the City of Easthampton on a downtown brick wall.
Easthampton City Arts invites artists and/or arts groups to submit a proposal for a mural to be created at 71-77 Cottage Street on the brick wall facing the public parking lot. Funds for the creation of this mural have been awarded Easthampton City Arts by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
What:
Design and produce a painted mural with a minimum size of 500 square feet on the brick wall facing the public parking lot at 71-77 Cottage Street and appropriately treat and/or seal the mural for outdoor longevity of a minimum of 10 years. The brick wall will be cleaned and primed by Easthampton City Arts prior to the execution of the mural. The brick wall is approximately 1,000 square feet.
Content/Theme:
The mural should be highly colorful and fully visible to pedestrians and traffic coming down Cottage Street from the mountain side of Route 141. The theme of the mural is:
“The evolving mosaic of Easthampton: From farms to mills to ….”
Images may include but in no way are limited to historical scenes, current street scenes, local landscapes, and architectural designs and details of buildings in Easthampton. Depictions of individual Easthampton residents are not sought as they are included in the Manhan Rail Trail mural.
Who:
Individual artists, muralists, and art groups who live or work in the Pioneer Valley are encouraged to apply. Involving youth in the development of the mural or its execution is encouraged.
