Opportunity...April 2019. FY19 MuralsDC Graffiti and Aerosol Mural Artists Request for Qualifications

FY19 MuralsDC Graffiti and Aerosol Mural Artists Request for Qualifications (RFQ)

The DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (CAH), in partnership with the DC Department of Public Works (DPW), seeks graffiti and aerosol mural artists and artist teams to design, create and install aerosol murals as part of the MuralsDC program. Selected artists will be expected to address designated youth (ages 14-18) to help them understand the art of aerosol graffiti mural painting and provide youth with opportunities to assist (site preparation and mural outlining).

The MuralsDC program was established to replace illegal graffiti with artistic works, revitalize sites within communities in the District of Columbia, and to teach young people the art of aerosol painting.  This initiative aims to  positively engage the District's youth by teaching proper professional art techniques, providing supplies, and a legal means to practice and perform artistic skills in a way that promotes respect for public and private property and community awareness. There are currently more than eighty (80) MuralsDC projects across all eight wards of the District of Columbia.

Submission Deadline:  Tuesday, April 30, 2019 at 4:00 pm ET
