The selected artwork will be converted into vinyl wraps and added to multiple signal boxes throughout the city, according to the release. This project will give local artists a chance to have their artwork displayed publicly.
There are separate artist calls open for this project, one for multiple traffic signal boxes in general and one for a Fighting Farmers-themed signal box near Lewisville High School.
The deadline for submissions for both projects is 5 p.m. March 25, according to the release. Artists will be chosen by a selection committee and will be notified via email and/or phone.
Selected artists will be paid a stipend of $300 for their work being selected. The artist selected for the Fighting Farmers box wrap will be paid a stipend of $500 for their work, according to the release.
The artwork must be original to the artist submitting, and only digital images will be accepted for consideration, according to the release. The original work can be from any medium, including painting, graphic design, photograph or printmaking, but it must be able to be captured in a high-quality digital image for reproduction.
To read all the requirements and to complete an application form, visit the Call for Artists page at http://lewisvillegrand.com. There are separate listings for the general box wraps and the Fighting Farmers box wrap.
Any questions about this call for artists should be sent to Arts Center Manager Denise Helbing at 972-219-8478 or by email at [email protected].
