LET YOUR ART "LIGHT" UP THE CITY
Call to Visual Artists

The Key West Art in Public Places Board is seeking artists to design and paint murals on twelve canvasses that will be placed on a street banner mounting system to be located in various locations in the City.  The Board is looking for artwork that is consistent and appropriate to the theme of
"Island of the Arts".

The selected artists will be paid $500.00 for each banner that is chosen, which will involve painting on a 24" x 36" double sided unbleached canvas using exterior acrylic paint.  The artist will supply any and all requirements necessary to finish the job.

A mandatory workshop will be scheduled at
Key West City Hall, 525 Angela Street,
ADAConference Room on Wednesday, September 13th at 5:30 PM
for anyone wishing to apply for the project. 

The workshop will allow artists the opportunity to learn and discuss the details of the banner project, and also will explain what information will need to be included in an artist's proposal to the Board.
