PAAC Seeks Artists for Downtown Mural Project

 

The City of Valdosta Public Art Advisory Committee in partnership with Valdosta Main Street & The City Center Arts District of Valdosta is seeking artists and/or artists-lead teams to submit proposals for a mural, to be installed on a exterior wall facing Bennie's Alley on the Dosta Theatre building.
 
Proposals are encouraged from artists and/or artist lead teams who have experience in creating large scale work on multiple surface types. Award will be determined after submission. Please note, wall preparation will be the sole responsibility of the artist(s) under the supervision of the PAAC.
 
Artist(s) will be selected through a juried process with the Public Art Advisory Committee and Valdosta Main Street.
 
Project theme: The design should be reflective of the arts including but not limited to theatre. We ask that designs include imagery of things and or objects or places. The Dosta Theatre is home to the Theatre Guild but also hosts musical events from time to time. It will need to fit into the current public art portfolio of Downtown Valdosta and the City Center Arts District. We encourage bold colors and designs that will create a unique and vibrant backdrop for visitors and community members both in person and through photography.
 
Submission Checklist
  • Digital or physical rendering that is presented in a matching scale to the project dimensions. The submission may take up as much of or as little of the yellow painted wall as the artists desires. Please include actual dimension of your proposed design.
