Request for Proposals

The Tippecanoe Arts Federation is requesting design proposals for a mural. The site identified for the mural is on 105 E Smith Street, Oxford, Benton County, Indiana.  This is a paid opportunity for a qualified artist or team of artists working collaboratively to create a design. The artist(s) chosen for the project will work directly with area at-risk and underserved youth to execute the design.

The Mural Art Initiative is a collaborative educational outreach program that serves area at-risk and underserved youth populations. The three primary objectives of this multi-faceted program are to: beautify community areas vandalized by graffiti, visually promote the clear benefit of arts in our community, and provide a life-long positive impact on all project participants.

The application and additional information are available at http://www.tippecanoearts.org/callsforentry/RFP-Benton%20County.pdf.  All proposals are due by 5:00pm, March 18, 2011 to:
