Award Information

This is a Notice of Award issued by the City of Fairburn, Georgia, for the Creative Crosswalks project, an artist-solicited public art initiative. The City of Fairburn sought artists to design and paint vibrant murals on crosswalks at four designated locations: Fairburn Youth Center, Duncan Park, Landmark Christian School, and Campbell Elementary School. Eligible artists were required to be at least 18 years old with 1-3 years of experience painting murals or public artworks, legally authorized to work in the United States, and able to create original designs appropriate for public viewing. Designs were not permitted to contain profanity, nudity, gang symbols, political or religious content, advertisements, or other offensive material. The original Request for Proposal was issued on June 22, 2022, and the award was announced on September 12, 2022, by Anquinas R. Woods, Procurement Manager.

The award amount is $3,200.00 per crosswalk location. Artists were permitted to submit designs for one or more of the four locations, with a maximum of four separate designs for individual evaluation. All artwork was required to be monochromatic or contain no more than six colors, scaled to cover the full crosswalk dimensions, and executed using exterior acrylic latex-based paint with a non-skid/slip-resistant sealant and final grip paint coat. No oil-based paints were permitted. Artists could engage volunteers or partner with local schools or organizations to assist with installation. The project served as a community pride initiative intended to transform ordinary crosswalks into vibrant public art installations.
