Application process

  • Applicants should fill out the form below and send two to five samples of their prior artwork and/or a copy of their proposed mural design to 720sellc@gmail.com

    • If you choose to send a proposed mural design, please note it can be digital or hand-drawn and we ask that you do not spend more than a hour on a sketch, basic graphic design, or mockup. At this stage, we’re more interested in the concept than the artistic details.

  • The Allgire Project will select the winning muralist by October 15th, 2020.

Considerations

  • The artist does not need to have experience with mural painting

  • Please take the following components into consideration:

    • The Allgire Project's thematic areas of Whidbey Island’s ecology, industries, history, and cultures (past or present). Not sure where to start with those themes? We suggest using resources like HistoryLink.org and talking a librarian for research resources at your local library.

    • The space that's been allocated (see details below)

    • Artistic styles that work well as a mural

    • The Allgire Project art that is surrounding the proposed space

  • We encourage the muralist to go visit the walls in person at The Allgire Project and note the texture that they'll be painting on

  • If the artist is under 18, their parents may need to sign a waiver on the artist painting the mural (ladders, art/design ownership, etc.)

The design space

Measurements and wall space: 14 feet tall by 6 feet wide, has a textured stucco surface and wraps around a corner on the east side of the wall, near a window.
