Call for Muralist Proposals

The San Pedro Arts, Culture and Entertainment Committee and the San Pedro Waterfront Arts District’s Public Art Program seek muralist’s qualifications and proposed renderings for a project in the downtown San Pedro Arts District. Our mission is to promote San Pedro’s authentic arts, culture and entertainment character, through Advocacy, Marketing and Education activities.

The Arts District has set aside a $10,000 award for the winning muralist and will give a stipend for paint/materials. We will also prepare the wall with a coat of white paint and apply a graffiti coating after the mural is completed. The wall size is approximately 22 feet high by 101 feet long and is a rough brick exterior.  Complete information here. Call for Muralists

The above mural was created by Meg Saligman, Location, Broad & Spring Garden Streets, Philadelphia, PA
Rising eight stories high, Common Threads features antique figurines based on figurines owned by the artist’s grandmother, with students from two area high schools – Benjamin Franklin High School and the School for Creative Performing arts (CAPA) – mirroring their poses. The mural reflects the common threads that link us across cultures and across time. On a typical weekday, 5,800 people pass through the SEPTA stop at Broad and Spring Garden Streets, making this one of Mural Arts; most visible and iconic murals.
