  • 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:
