Application Deadline: Friday, April 28
Selected Artist Interviews: Early May 2017
Project Description: Through a partnership with the Hamilton Parks Conservancy, artist Jenn Acus-Smith has designed six bird-themed murals to be painted in six different Hamilton area parks. The bright colors and bold designs will enhance the chosen buildings, welcoming residents and creating a strong visual placemaking/branding tool for the Parks Conservancy. This project will encourage fun, family-friendly programming for Hamilton residents and will help people learn more about their natural environment. Jenn will be the lead artist on the project and will hire several local/student artists to assist, providing hands-on training and valuable mural-making experience.
Project Requirements:
- Artists should have some flexible daytime hours to work during the summer of 2017 (each mural will take about 4-6 days depending on building size).
- Artists should have some painting experience (mural painting experience helpful, but not required).
- Local and student artists will be preferenced for this project.
- Artists must be age 18 or older.
- Artists must submit a current resume, four painting examples and one reference letter in their application.
- Artists will be paid a flat rate of $300 per mural.
