Detroit Office of Arts, Culture and Entrepreneurship LEARN time limit on Open Call for Mural Painters Farwell Rec Center

The new deadline to apply is July 13, 2022
The Detroit Office of Arts, Culture and Entrepreneurship (Detroit ACE) is looking for artists or collaboration teams for projects maintaining a creative space at the Farwell Recreation Center.
The theme for the mural installation will be the result of engagement with community members, who suggested that it should honor community heroes. A selection committee made up of community members and members of the Detroit ACE team anticipates selecting an artist or team on August 5th.
The project is among many Detroit ACEs that will connect artists with the Detroit community and improve the display of the environment throughout the city. It is also part of Mayor Mike Duggan’s Blight to Beauty initiative.
“We hope to help the community to embrace artwork that reflects the values and identity of the community,” said Rochelle Riley, the city’s Director of Arts and Culture. “Our goal is to expand community assets and enhance the stature of some of the best artists in the country.”
