Visual artist sought for mural
Corner Social, a new Harlem restaurant, is seeking proposals from Harlem-based visual artists to design and execute a mural on the exterior of their building located at 321 Lenox Avenue.
Submissions for the mural should be professionally designed and reflect Harlem’s great legacy of arts and culture as seen through the eyes of the artist. The mural may be abstract in design, or it may depict well-known Harlem personalities and/or venues, community leader, art and music or current local issues which offer a positive reflection of the local community – but no political issues.
Surface/Location:
Mural will be created on a red-brick wall approximately 23’10″ X 15’6″ in dimension.
Work should be created with oil-based paints and properly sealed upon completion.
Surface is located on the northwest corner of Malcolm X Boulevard and 125th Street in Harlem.
Submissions:
Artists should submit three previous, relevant work samples, along with an up-to-date resume and artist statement. Artist must submit a total of three (3) professional references.
Artists may submit as an individual or may propose work as a team of artists working to complete one collaborative design.
