New Downtown Phoenix Restaurant Seeks to Bring the Outdoor Experience IN, Complete with Bold, Colorful Mural
Submission Deadline: Sept 16, 2016
Artlink Inc. invites local artists specializing in murals to submit samples of previously commissioned work to be considered for a new restaurant project in Phoenix.
A commission will be awarded to an individual or team, to complete a 27’ wide x 7.2’ high wall within The Park, opening at 2nd Street and Jefferson in downtown Phoenix. The deadline to submit is Sept 16, 2016.
Selected artist(s) will begin work immediately for a targeted completion date of early October 2016.
SUBMISSION DETAILS
A variety of contemporary street art styles are welcome for submission: abstract, cityscapes, figurative, nature: flora and fauna. The clients are looking for something that is bold and colorful.
Individuals and teams (no more than four (4) artists) are invited to apply to this call.
For more information on the restaurant concept, visit their Facebook page.
“The dining area will be designed to look like a park. Two massive trees will replace columns and leaves will be abundant, creating the illusion that foliage is growing into the ceiling, said co-founder Phil Richard. Picnic tables, yard games, a stage and outdoor-themed decor will create a ‘backyard cool atmosphere, with air conditioning,’ he added.”
