The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) and the Town of Holliston invite artists to apply for an exciting public art opportunity.

 

The selected artist/artist team will receive a $10,000 stipend to bring their vision to life.

 

We seek one artist or team to design and install murals at three sites.

 

The Three Sites

Artists are invited to submit their qualifications and preliminary concepts for mural artwork at three prominent sites where they will enhance connections between the Holliston Rail Trail and the downtown area:

2. The electric box at the intersection of Washington and Hollis Streets

3. The electric box at the intersection of Washington and Green Streets
