Topic: Call For Lead Artist - Downtown Mural Painting
The Spokane Arts Commission is seeking a lead artist to lead a team of younger artists to design and facilitate the painting of three downtown Spokane underpasses. The artist will be responsible for all aspects of the project including the design process, team building, safety plan, project management and materials acquisition. This position is grant funded through the Inland Northwest Community Foundation and is temporary. The artist will be paid as an employee and will not be an independent contractor. This project is designed to offer an incentive for professional artists to work with young artists in a mentor relationship. The young artists will be paid through a job training program for low income youth. The artwork should appeal to a broad age range and be uplifting and stimulating to the spirit, the intellect and the physical senses. The goal is to remove existing graffiti and discourage the proliferation of graffiti in public areas, and to create clean, bright, pleasant, secure walkways. Artists interested in applying for the murals project are invited to download a prospectus below or pick up a prospectus at the Chase Gallery – City Hall lower level, 808 W. Spokane Falls Blvd., Spokane, WA 99201, or call 625-6050. Qualifications are due to the Spokane Arts Commission by Wednesday, February 10th at 3 p.m. PST.
