Transformer Cabinet Mural Time!

The City of Fort Collins, Colorado, Art in Public Places Program is seeking local artists/teams and non-profit organizations to work with the Transformer Cabinet Mural Project Team to develop and paint murals on electrical transformer cabinets around Fort Collins. The murals are intended to help mitigate graffiti, as well as add art to the community.

Artists/teams residing, owning a business, or having a current studio space within the Fort Collins growth management area are eligible to apply. Artists will be selected by the project team upon review of submission materials. Once selected, transformer cabinet sites will be assigned to artists/teams, with one or more cabinets per site for painting. The budget for this project starts at $1000 per artist/team.

Additionally, individuals or teams from non-profit organizations located within the City of Fort Collins growth management area are eligible to apply. Interested organizations should submit a preliminary mural design concept for review by the project team. Organizations selected for this project will receive an honorarium of $450 per site to cover expenses.

Submissions are due March 5. Artists and Non-Profit Groups may download the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) form from the City’s Art in Public Places website at www.fcgov.com/artspublic/current-competitions.php.
