    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.  

    GOALS OF THE ARTWORK

    -Unique to this project 

    -Tells the story, vision and brand of the BelRed Arts District 

    -Provides fun and engaging experiences for those passing by the art installation from different perspective (train, car, sidewalk or adjacent building)  

    -Increases the visibility and awareness of the BelRed Arts District and serves as one of the key anchors 

    -Achievable and feasible 

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