The Center for Visual Arts in partnership with the City of Wausau and Rocket Industrial invites design proposals from Mural Artists for a site-specific mural in downtown Wausau. This new mural will be located on the Historic Landmark building at the intersection of Scott Street and North 2nd Street in Wausau, WI. A strong mural proposal will be a site-based mural representing the community, downtown, and its diversity. This should be a photo-worthy mural, with clean graphic lines, and be innovative and creative. Selected artist(s) will receive a stipend of $15000 for the installation, and rights to the design for publication. Selected artist(s) will be provided all materials including paint and scaffolding, as well as a local mural assistant.
Mural Installation Dates: August 6 - September 4, 2024
