OPPORTUNITY
The BelRed Arts District Community Alliance seeks artist to add to BelRed’s Public Art Program by designing and installing a large-scale artwork installation in the BelRed Arts district. This artist call is open to local, career-level artists living in King County - preferably on the Eastside – that have completed at least 3-5 previous artwork installation on exterior walls. The final selected artist will contract with the BelRed Arts District Community Alliance for $8000, covering the artist’s time, labor and supplies. The Community Alliance will handle any equipment necessary for installation, including outdoor-grade hardware and lift.

-Achievable and feasible
-Colorful and vibrant but fits well into the overall environment and works well with the other murals in the vicinity.
