Calling Local Artists: Greenfield's Sister Cities Group Seeks Muralist for 35th Anniversary Celebration

The Sister Cities of Greenfield group is looking for a mural artist. The mural will celebrate the 35th anniversary of their Sister Cities relationship with Kakuda, Japan. It will be displayed on a renovated grain elevator, now a restaurant. The mural will cover about 640 square feet of painted metal siding. A boom lift will be needed to reach the wall. The project should be finished by September 2025.

The mural should show the friendship between Greenfield, IN and Kakuda, Japan. It should also reflect the Sister Cities of Greenfield's goal to build understanding and friendship between the two cities. The mural should honor the farming history of both cities.

Artists should send up to three examples of their past work, including at least one mural. They can also send a colored sketch or proposal that fits the project's aims. A budget proposal should be included, covering all costs like materials, travel, and artist fee. The design should be suitable for public display and for viewers of all ages.

The selected artist will sign a contract with the Hancock County Arts Council and the building owner. The deadline for submissions is April 1, 2024. The jury date is April 20, 2024. Applicants will be notified of their status on April 22, 2024. The top three artists will get a $200 design stipend.

The project budget is between $16,000 and $18,000. For questions about the project or submission process, contact Lyndi Grubb at scofgreenfield@gmail.com or 317-372-6279.
