MLK Recreation Center Mural

The City of Denton is seeking an artist to create a large-scale mural on the façade of the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center. The mural will be painted onto multiple aluminum panels and installed onto a free-standing aluminum structure. The project budget is $20,000, with an anticipated artist fee of $6,000. The selected artist will work with the community to develop a mural concept and guide volunteers in the production of the artwork. Key considerations include the artist's experience with community art projects, their ability to work with volunteers, and their approach to involving the community in the creative process. • The mural will be approximately 16' x 20' or 20' x 20' in size. • The project includes the installation of an original mural artwork on aluminum panels. • The artist will develop the mural design in line with the community's preferences. • The project must be completed by December 1, 2025, to meet the requirements of the grant funding.
