CALL FOR ARTISTS – REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
MURAL ART ON MAIN STREET
Release Date March 26, 2021
DEADLINE EXTENSTION!! PROPOSALS NOW BEING ACCEPTED UNTIL
1:00 PM ON MAY 14, 2021

Description:

The Town of Frisco is seeking an artist, or a group of artists, to design and install a street mural at the intersection of Main Street and 4th Avenue. The Town is committed to providing unique and accessible cultural opportunities for residents and visitors so they may find their own unique adventures and meaningful experiences in Frisco. The mural project, located at the heart of the Town’s commercial core, is intended to inspire hope and positivity, celebrate the resiliency of the Frisco community, and add creative vibrancy to enhance the pedestrian experience.

Budget and Scope:

Designs should complement the streetscape of Frisco’s unique mountain town Main Street. The intent of the mural program is to create hopeful, positive experiences that are reflective of Frisco’s community and core values. The design may be representational or abstract but should be appropriate for the community setting and acceptable to a broad audience of all ages. The design must be image-based and cannot include logos, copyrighted or trademarked images, or be a form of signage or advertising in any way.

The budget for the artists’ compensation for the mural is $5,000. The Town will also reimburse the selected artist(s) for the reasonable cost of materials, including Town-approved UV-anti graffiti coating. An estimate of material costs should be submitted with the proposal. The budget of $5,000 for this project must include artists’ general liability insurance, travel to and from the site, all labor costs for designing and creating the mural, and all costs for thorough cleanup by the artist.

The project area is approximately 1,500 square feet. The mural will be painted directly on the existing asphalt street surface and should be designed so as not to impede pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular traffic. The Town will, manage road closures and provide safety support for the artist during the mural installation. The Town maintains the right to keep the mural in place for any period of time of its choosing or to paint over the mural at any time. The Town may also choose to replace the mural with a new design from a new artist or extend the time the existing mural is maintained.

Artists may apply as individuals, or as a group of artists submitting a collaborative proposal. Artists wishing to apply as a team should appoint and pronounce one (1) person to be the main contact for the project. Delegation of project duties shall be included in the application along with a declaration for one individual who will receive payment, as the group of artists should delegate internally how to divide their commissions/fees prior to an award. Once an artist has been selected, a final design will be required that will include all details for fabrication and installation of the mural. The Town will retain all rights to the final design.

The Town will reserve a date(s) in June 2021, weather depending, for the installation of the mural. The selected artist will be expected to install the artwork within a 48 hour time period established between the artist(s) and the Town in order to minimize road closures and implement safety and security measures for the artist(s).

Artists may submit one or more proposal packets. The following items should be collated into a pdf document. Each item listed below should be a separate page(s) in the pdf.
