Call to Artists: Hamilton Parks Conservancy Bird Mural Series

Call to Artists: Hamilton Parks Conservancy Bird Mural Series
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.
The style of the bird murals will be similar to this mural which was painted on the Parks Conservancy office at 106 N. Second St, Hamilton, OH 45011:
