2025 Call for Artists
This nationwide community mural program is a celebration of communities across America and an important part of a new or newly transformed facility. Every mural is a unique, original artwork. NOW Art is a public art agency and we work with our clients to curate artworks and engage artists across the country. Today, community murals are featured in hundreds of locations, and original artworks are unveiled weekly in newly transformed facilities.
This opportunity is with NOW Art directly to be included in our pre-qualified directory of artists for mural commissions. To participate in this program and be selected we are considering artists who create compositions in the following styles: contemporary, street art, and traditional.
This will not require any onsite work.
Artists will create the designs remotely (either traditionally or digitally) and submit the work in high-resolution format. Our organization prints and installs their work in the stores.
Skills and Qualities:
Timeliness: Artists must be able to meet tight deadlines due to the time sensitive nature of this program.
Detail-oriented: The selected works will be significantly enlarged, so detail and an understanding of scale are key.
Communication: Artists must be responsive collaborators with our agency.
Experience: Artists must have a link to a strong portfolio of work that showcases a range of compositions. Previous client-based experience is a bonus.
Compensation for the mural will be up to $1,000 per project. Inclusion in the directory does not guarantee a mural commission.
If interested, please fill out our Request for Qualifications form at the link below. We do not accept applications through Indeed. You must submit your application via the RFQ link to be considered. There will be introductory Zoom interviews for artists we would like to move forward with.
This opportunity is only available to residents of the United States and Puerto Rico. Preference for artists in the following states: Mississippi, Alabama, North Carolina, West Virginia, Texas, Louisiana, South Carolina, Oklahoma, and Kansas.
