Call Description
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Keller Public Arts Board and the Park Board have come together to form a subcommittee to oversee the design and installation of eight unique outdoor murals that shall be located at the Keller Sports Park south and west walls. The group seeks a digital artist to design each mural. This project intends to turn high resolution digital submittals into physical designs applied to brick walls through the use of brick wrap.
The outdoor murals are one element of the nearly $40 million Keller Sports Park renovation project. The expansion will feature new softball fields, youth baseball and multipurpose fields, baseball fields, a rodeo area, soccer and lacrosse fields, and a rugby field. The goal of the Sports Park Project is to bring teams and visitors to the city.
The mural project is anticipated to begin in May 2025. The City of Keller will provide a 4”x6” plaque for the mural to include artwork title, artist name and year of installation.
