Midtown Houston Cultural Arts and Entertainment District is seeking local artists and graphic designers to create an original and uniquely inspired design that reflects Houston's place in the history of Hispanic culture for the iconic Midtown sign in honor of 2024 Hispanic Heritage Month.
The design should align with the theme "Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together," capturing the spirit of innovation, resilience, and unity that defines the Hispanic experience. The selected design will be used to create a large-scale temporary public art display using 3M vinyl face wrap on the iconic Midtown sign in Bagby Park.
One selected artist will receive a $1,200 honorarium for their winning design and participation in a professionally recorded interview, tentatively scheduled for September 5th, about their work and inspiration. This interview will be featured on Midtown Houston's social media platforms.
