Homewise Orpheum Community Hub Mural
Albuquerque, NM
Summary: The City of Albuquerque Arts Board and Homewise seek mural proposals for the north facing wall. The design should activate the entire indicated wall area, and represent an awareness of current mural production in both application and material handling. The selection committee for this commission encourages themes exploring/ or inspired by the human element of a neighborhood, culture, place, landmark or idea of ‘home’ in this location. However, the committee is interested in seeking a range of artistic perspectives as it relates to the site, and considering the multiple-use history of its past, present and future. The mural will be an anchor and focal point, as a main entry/ exit gateway to the Barelas Neighborhood. Successful entries will be judged on aesthetic vision, excellence of past projects and suitability for the site. Full colored imagery that is uplifting, celebratory and inspires a desire to embrace this old economic hub into a new point of growth for the community will be favorable. All styles and technical approached will be considered for successful expression of the theme.
Budget:
$13,000.00 is available from the Albuquerque Public Art Program for the selected artist or artist’s team. All travel and lodging, equipment rental, supplies and fabrication of the final mural design on the wall will be responsibility of the artist.
$15,000.00 is available from Homewise for the selected artist or artist’s team as matching funds to the project budget by the Albuquerque Public Art Program.
Deadline: midnight, Sunday, April 29th, 2018
