Hello artists,

 

This is a friendly last call to apply for the Union Square Public Art Opportunity. The Somerville Arts Council is seeking an artist or artist team to create a large-scale mural for the Prospect Street Substation — a highly visible site at the heart of one of Somerville’s most vibrant and evolving neighborhoods.

 

  • $50,000 commission
  • Deadline: April 15 at 11:59 PM

 

This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ), so there’s no need to submit a design proposal at this stage — just share your work, your experience, and your artistic practice.

 

If you’ve been thinking about applying, this is a great moment to do so!

We’d also appreciate you sharing this opportunity with artists in your networks.

 

Warmly,

 

Jessica Saavedra (she/her/hers)
