tallahassee florida wildlife corridor mural

The Tallahassee/Leon County Council on Culture & Arts is partnering with the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation and Apalachee Audubon Society to bring to Tallahassee a mural that explores the theme of connection through the lens of the Florida Wildlife Corridor.

COCA is seeking experienced regional or local artists to be considered for the large-scale mural project.

This Call to Artists will be broken into two phases:

• Phase 1: Request for Qualifications (RFQ)

• Phase 2: Request for Proposals (RFP)

Content

Unlike previous Corridor Community Murals that have focused on specific regions, landscapes, species, or local conservation stories, this mural is intended to represent the broader significance of the Corridor across Florida, and beyond. Artists are encouraged to interpret the Corridor as both a physical and/or symbolic network that connects people, wildlife, water, working lands, communities, cultures, and landscapes.

Artists may explore concepts of both connection and disconnection, provided the final work communicates a sense of possibility, resilience, and collective responsibility for Florida's future. In accordance with the partnership and collaboration with the Apalachee Audubon Society the mural must include a native bird.

Application Summary

This Call to Artists will be reviewed in 2 phases comprised of an Request for Qualifications (RFQ), then a Request for Proposals (RFP). Collaborative proposals of two or more artists working together are welcome, so long as the required information for all team members is included in your submission. If submitting a group proposal, please designate a single artist to serve as the representative of the group.
