For the second year, the Frisco Arts and Culture Council is looking for local and regional artists to design and install small temporary murals in Frisco. The Frisco Arts and Culture Council is seeking four artists to create one mural each on sites identified by the Frisco Arts and Culture Council, on one of Frisco’s recreational pathways.

Locations have been selected with consideration for aesthetics, accessibility, impact and logistics. Artists would receive $2,000 per mural, plus $600 for supplies. 

The selected artists will need to use water-based latex paint for a design that fits the space, covering at least 75% of paintable space, which is approximately 7 feet wide and 20 feet long. The mural’s design should be unexpected and imaginative with consideration for the project goals. The $2,600 per site includes all costs associated with the design and installation of the mural, including supplies. Mural installation should take place from July into early August.



Interested artists are invited to fill out and submit an application online at ArtsFrisco.com by Wednesday, July 10. Submissions must include a brief description of any mural experience and images of murals designed and completed by the artist. Artists will be selected to create a mural based on past work, and once selected, they will be asked to provide a mural design for review.
