The City of Fayetteville is seeking proposals for its
Utility Box Art Program. The program is a graffiti abatement initiative of the Keep Fayetteville Beautiful Committee and Fayetteville Police Department’s Community Policing Division.
Proposals should celebrate and educate the public on
recycling, waste reduction, reuse of materials, and/or litter abatement.
Utility boxes measure approximately six-feet high, three-feet wide, and
two-feet deep (6’ x 3’ x 2’). The proposal can be site-specific or of existing
work. The four utility box locations are:
- Millsap Road and College Avenue
- Township Street and Gregg Avenue
- Mission Boulevard and Crossover Road
- Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and Hill
Avenue
The call for proposals is open to all residents,
artists, and artist teams, including high school and university students. All
applicants, without regard to race, sex, religion, nationality, origin, sexual
orientation, or disability will be considered.
This project is managed by The Keep Fayetteville Beautiful
Board of Directors along with the City of Fayetteville. Artists will be paid $150 at the completion
of the project and additional funds will be available for supplies. The project
must be completed within three months.
Proposals
are due by: Friday, October 16, 2020 at 5 p.m.
