The Downtown Chatham BIA is calling for submissions for their upcoming mural project, inviting local artists to showcase their talents and contribute to the beautification of the downtown area.
The project, which is a joint effort between the BIA and the Municipality of Chatham-Kent, aims to add vibrant and eye-catching murals to the walls of buildings in the downtown core. The BIA hopes that these murals will not only enhance the visual appeal of the area, but also serve as a way to showcase the community’s rich history and culture.
Submissions are open to all artists, both amateur and professional, who are residents of Chatham-Kent. The BIA is looking for designs that are unique, creative, and reflective of the local community. The chosen designs will be painted onto designated walls in the downtown area, with the artists receiving compensation for their work.
According to BIA Chairperson, Jane Smith, this project is a great opportunity for local artists to showcase their talents and contribute to the revitalization of the downtown area. “We are excited to see the submissions and the impact these murals will have on our community,” she stated.
The BIA is also encouraging artists to incorporate elements of the downtown’s history and culture into their designs. This could include landmarks, events, or notable figures that have played a significant role in shaping the community.
Submissions will be accepted until the end of the month, with a panel of judges from the BIA and the Municipality of Chatham-Kent selecting the winning designs. The chosen artists will then work with the BIA to finalize their designs and begin painting in the summer.
The BIA hopes that this project will not only add to the visual appeal of the downtown area, but also serve as a way to engage and involve the community in the beautification process. They are looking forward to seeing the creativity and talent of local artists on display through this project.
