The City of Oxford and the Public Arts Commission of Oxford (PACO) are looking for an artist to complete the next planned mural to go on the side of the Oxford Municipal Parking Garage at 6 W. Walnut St.
A committee of PACO members and stakeholders will recommend three finalists, who will then create a more comprehensive design plan, which may be shared in a public meeting for consideration.
The submission deadline is July 10, and selection of finalists will occur July 14. Final artist selection is expected by Aug. 11. The city hopes the mural will be completed by the end of 2025.
To apply, include any past experience or training and one to three samples of public art projects completed in the last five years if available, a resume or CV, one reference letter, and a line work design concept with a short description.
They are accepting artists ages 18 and older with any background who can apply, though experience with large-scale murals is preferred.
Submissions can be sent to Jessica Greene at [email protected] or in person at the city’s municipal office.
