Project Budget
Recognizing that we are flexible in consideration of the size/scope of the façade treatment area, it follows that the budget may vary widely. Additionally, non-conventional materials other than paint are welcome, which may impact costs. A total budget of $15,000 has been assumed for the purposes of this project. Artist will be responsible for their own travel costs, equipment (including scaffolding/lifts), and personal liability insurance.
The collective will be responsible for the treatment of the surface prior to installation and for applying a UV sealant and anti-graffiti coating. Additionally, CTC will be responsible for the long-term maintenance of the Mural and has funds set aside for this stewardship.
–
CTC is grateful for the generosity of the community and partners for their support in the creation of this mural. As a non-profit organization, funding has been sourced from several places to finance this project and its maintenance. The selected artist may be asked for involvement in the ongoing funding requirements and reporting process, and will be supported accordingly.
Selection Process
A 7-person, diverse, representative committee has been established and will review all completed proposals. Committee members include friends, family, collective members, local leaders, and consulting artists. We will select up to three semifinalists to interview.
