Description
United Arts of Central Florida invites proposals from professional visual artists or artist teams to design and install a large-scale public mural on the exterior wall of East End Market in Orlando, Florida. This initiative is part of the Community Vibrancy Program, which aims to invest in place-based public art projects that strengthen neighborhood identity and foster community vitality. The mural should focus on Florida birds (preferably endangered species), be noncommercial, suitable for public viewing, and reflect the local neighborhood context. The project site features three recessed wall spaces, which may be treated as a unified mural or as related panels.
