Atlanta is searching for artists to design two street murals in the West End as part of the city’s Placemaking Program, which works to transform city streets and public spaces into cultural areas.

The murals will sit at the intersections of White Street and Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard and White Street and Hopkins Street in southwest Atlanta.

Artists must submit proposals to the Department of City Planning, the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs and the West End Neighborhood Development.

The selected artists will be awarded $2,000 each for their design. Once the designs are selected, the department will hire a contractor to install the murals.

For full details on the project, artists can view the request for proposals packet here.

The deadline to submit a proposal is noon Dec. 6.

Anyone with questions about the project is asked to email city planner Chris McIntosh at cmcintosh@atlantaga.gov or the city's Office of Mobility at mobility@atlantaga.gov.
