Mural Design Competition

hosted by Northwestern Mutual

Artists and designers with an eye for interpreting history and an entrepreneurial spirit are being sought for a mural to be created on the large conference room wall of Northwestern Mutual. The office building is on the square of York City and is a high traffic area. The conference room has large glass windows facing out onto the square. The winning piece will receive an abundance of exposure due to visibility from York’s Continental Square.

The Northwestern Mutual mural project seeks to bring history to life in an artistic expression. It’s not just to beautify the office, but also to tie in the self-starting spirit we have in York and to really pick up on the unique history of city. We are looking to have someone reach back and put up something iconic that relates to the history of York City.

Please Provide:

1) CONTACT COVER SHEET. Please provide the artist’s name, address, telephone, e-mail, and a brief bio (< 200 words). Please reference the project name (Northwestern Mutual Mural) on all correspondence, including envelopes.

2) LETTER OF INTEREST, including a description of your approach to this project, and an overview of your concept for the Northwestern Mutual mural.

3) RESUME of artist or for each artist if a team is submitting as well as samples of prior work the artist feels Northwestern Mutual should consider.

4) DIGITAL IMAGES. Via email (christian.wagman@nmfn.com ) or dropped off at the 48 E Market St Ste. 3 office address.

The purpose of the wall is to beautify, inspire and express the city’s history, and Northwestern Mutual’s desire to nurture entrepreneurs. The mural will create something special for the company’s visitors and inspire those applicants that seek to start and develop their own financial futures.

We’re looking for someone to give their time and talents. The competition is not for a paid commission, but for a volunteer willing to work on the mural for the community, build their portfolio, and inspire those who are perusing an amazing career opportunity. Northwestern Mutual will cover the cost of the project and materials. Northwestern Mutual will actively follows the mural process on social media outlets as well as making the contest know to the local media outlets for coverage opportunities and exposure for the artiest(s).

All submissions must meet the following criteria:

*Keep it clean. Please avoid obscene, racist, or sexually-oriented language or images.

*The mural concept, design, and all artwork must be the original work of the participating artist. Copyrighted images, including cartoon characters, clip art and brand references, may not be used.

*There are no limitations on concept, design, or medium as long as the design can be transferred from paper to wall, the artist is able to reproduce the mural on a wall 20ft wide x8ft high, and complete the project in a previously agreed upon time frame.

*Team submissions are accepted.

Chalk It Up! @ West Manchester Mall > April 17th 12noon-5pm

noreply@blogger.com (YorkArts) — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 07:19:00 +0000

Chalk It Up! is an exciting event designed to celebrate the creativity of high school artists and promote the importance of public art.

Join us in transforming the center court of the West Manchester Mall into an artist’s canvas and a place for audiences to watch works of art being created right before their eyes. Money raised from the event is used to benefit YorkArts’ summer art programs.

All high school students, grades 9 to 12 are eligible to participate. Space is limited to twelve murals, so REGISTER EARLY. Registration is necessary to be eligible for prize money. Artists are encouraged to participate as a group or individually; however, only one prize will be awarded per mural.

Murals will be judged and prizes will be awarded in the following categories: Top Chalk, Honorable Mention, and "People's Choice." The "People's Choice" award is given for the mural that receives the most votes from audience members and mall shoppers, so encourage your family and friends to come out & support you or your school.

Volunteers: The success of this innovative effort lies in part with the generosity of our volunteers. Everyone is invited to be a part of this great day.

If you are interested in participating in Chalk it UP! or would like more information, please contact YorkArts at 717-848-3200 or email info@yorkarts.org.
