City of Dublin invites qualified professional artists and student artists working under the supervision of a professional artist or art teacher to submit designs for a temporary art project to paint murals on basketball court keys throughout Dublin. These murals will make basketball courts more inviting and more fun and help to strengthen neighborhood communities. It is anticipated that the addition of artistic murals to basketball courts will also help draw people to the parks.
Because of the nature of this project, artists will be provided with the paint and sealant to be utilized. The City will provide a specific sealant for outdoor basketball courts. Red, yellow, blue, white, and black paint will be provided, and artists are expected to mix paint as needed to achieve desired colors. Stipends of $1,200 will be provided to selected artists or artist teams. Artists may submit up to three (3) proposals and be selected for up to two (2). The stipend will be paid for each selection ($2,400 max).
Selected murals will be at various neighborhood City Parks throughout Dublin. Both keys on one basketball court will be painted with a mural. There are four locations, which will allow for eight murals to be painted. Locations include:
- Alamo Creek Park
- Dolan Park
- Schaefer Ranch Park
- Ted Fairfield Park
The deadline to submit a proposal is Monday, September 9, at 4:00 p.m.
