Forest City
Call for mural artists: Nonprofit Valley In Motion (VIM) is releasing a call for artists to paint murals in downtown Forest City. In partnership with the borough, VIM aims to brighten downtown with murals that strengthen Forest City as an outdoor town and help to connect residents and visitors alike to the downtown and the D&H Rail Trail. VIM is looking for multiple artists to paint mostly small murals at up to nine selected sites, ranging from 60 to 600 square feet. The deadline to apply is midnight March 15. The themes for the murals will come from the community, generated at a community meeting that selected artists will be encouraged to attend. Artists will be selected based on their portfolio and skills/experience with similar projects. Artists will begin painting mid-May with a completion date of June 30. Commission fees for design and implementation will range from $800 to $5,000 per mural, depending on the size of the artwork, and including materials. Application details on VIM’s website, valleyinmotion.org/post/call-for-artists. Funding for this project was provided by PA Council on the Arts.
