Calling All Mural Artists for Featured Work at Future Mural Arts Park!

Request for Artist Qualifications: Community Mural at Future Mural Arts Park Site on Chicago’s West Side

Calling all experienced mural artists!

The Mural Arts Project is thrilled to now be accepting submissions from mural artists and artist teams for a prominent chance to bring their vision to life at the doorstep of a new and meaningful creative initiative on Chicago’s West Side.

As a cultural destination in the North Lawndale Community, the Mural Arts Project is a new development that will be a vibrant and calming space full of hope and peace. It will highlight the power of mural arts and serve as an inspirational venue offering opportunities for respite, discovery and learning.

If you, or someone you know, are interested in the opportunity to design and lead the creation of a community mural for our end-of-summer block party on Saturday, September 13th, 2025 – please complete the application online HERE to be considered.

This paid opportunity includes $250 for select finalists to provide a design proposal and / or maquette for the mural.

In the end, one mural artist or team will see their work commissioned with compensation for both proposal development and project execution.

Submissions are due by Friday, July 18th, 2025.

Only one artist, or team, will be chosen in support of this event. The Mural Arts Project will retain all applicant materials for future opportunities, including upcoming commissions and curated events.
