Call for Submissions: Mural Project 2024-2025, Town of Yarmouth

Submission Deadline: Friday, September 13, 2024, 4:00pm ADT

The Yarmouth Façade Society seeks to commission a muralist or mural artist collective to create a mural artwork at the artist’s choice of theme for up to four locations. This grant offers support towards the costs involved in creating and delivering new inspiring installations in prominent downtown locations. Aimed at improving the image of structures in Downtown Yarmouth, the works will enhance the environment and add to the experience of visiting the area while also contributing to local regeneration. This opportunity exists for downtown property owners and businesses to collaborate with professional artists to bring their ideas to life and provide a platform for their talent to be showcased. Since part of the intent of this program is to add colour to the downtown and enhance the pedestrian experience, priority will be given to proposals that take into consideration the element of surprise and unexpectedness in an urban environment.

Eligible artists are invited to submit expressions of interest and qualifications to this call. The project budget application must include all costs directly associated with the artwork: including taxes, artist fees, production, materials, equipment rental, installation, and other professional services, insurance, permits, and other incidental and production expenses.
