We are looking to commission a mural or street artists based in the West Yorkshire region to paint one of the shutters along Oak Lane in Bradford. For this we are asking artists to submit a small application showing their previous work, and a short description or idea of the sort design you are envisioning for the shutters.

We will have parameters around colour palettes, themes, wording in order to ensure some cohesion between all shutters and to safeguard the business owners who agree to the art-work taking place. 

This recruitment process is a relaxed one and we want to ensure that there is room for creative exploration from applicants but also allows the creative control to fall within the realms agreed with the owners.

All applicants must have had some experience with spray paint however we don't expect all applicants to have had experience in delivering this size of work but they must have a desire to want to learn. If you can include your skill level in the application we will be able to organise any support you might need.

Timeline of activity: 

March: Chat to potential artists + site visits + confirming shutter sites 

April: Finalising ideas, confirming site plans

May: Arts works delivered + completed + Paint Jam event 

Fees:

Each Artist will be paid £400 inclusive of materials and time.

Please get in touch if you want to chat about this further.
