Temporary Pride Month Mural

Due Date: ~~March 20, 2024~~

EXTENDED: April 1, 2024

Budget: $2,500

The City of Wilsonville in collaboration with the Arts, Culture and Heritage Commission (ACHC) and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee are requesting applications from a talented artist or artist team, with expertise in mural design and implementation, preferably with experience painting on glass, for an exterior mural on glass at the Parks & Recreation Administration building located at 29600 Park Pl., Wilsonville, OR 97070.

The budget for this project is not to exceed $2,500, to be paid directly to the selected artist(s) which is inclusive of everything including but not limited to: time, labor, materials, and travel expenses.

The purpose and goal of the mural is to provide visual representation to uplift, recognize and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and celebrate and honor Pride Month. Designs may incorporate or be inspired by the Progress Pride Flag and its colors, but ultimately artists should use their own creativity when submitting a design that they feel is representative and celebratory of the LGBTQIA+ community and Pride Month. The site is very visible by both pedestrians and cars, and will likely be utilized as a photo opportunity.

For all project details and application directions please view the below Call for Art Application.
