MURAL GALLERY
Portland, Oregon |
The Public Art Murals Program is a City of Portland program administered by the Regional Arts & Culture Council as part of its Public Art Program. New murals are reviewed by the Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC), a standing RACC committee that is responsible for overseeing the City’s Public Art Program. Committee members include artists, arts advocates and professionals as well as a representative from the City’s Design Commission.
The program provides funding for murals that reflect a diversity in style and media and encourages artists from diverse backgrounds and range of experience to apply. Murals approved through this program become part of the City’s public art collection for as long as the Art Easement remains in effect (see application below).
An individual artist or group of artists is eligible for up to $10,000 in matching funds. Students enrolled in an art program at a degree granting institution are eligible for up to $2,500 in matching funds. Applicants/artists may be funded one time only between the application deadlines of June 1, 2008 and June 3, 2009.
