Request for Proposals

Robert E. Kennedy Library Transformation Project
Main Entrance Mural

Located on the campus of California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly), the Kennedy Library is excited to extend the invitation and request for proposals to California-based artists for a mural to serve as the visual cornerstone of the renovated Robert E. Kennedy Library, opening Fall 2025. The mural, located at the Library’s main entrance, is an opportunity to contribute to the Library’s vital placemaking function, where the natural beauty and cultural history of the region are shared and treasured, and where discipline-based scholarship is located and used.

The Finalist will receive a $20,000 Artist Fee, in addition to reimbursement for travel expenses related to the installation of this project.
