Title: Muralist

1. Introduction

1.1. Summary

The City of Edinburg Cultural Arts Division is seeking quotations from a qualified artist for a mural approximately 16 ft x 40 ft on the Gateway Building on Closner Blvd. As a postcard of Edinburg this will be the first in a series of public mural projects supported by the City of Edinburg.

With the theme “There’s No Place Like Home”, this mural supports Edinburg’s selection in the One Nation One Project/National League of Cities (ONOP/NLC) Arts &

Wellness Initiative.

1.2. Background

The Rio Grande Valley was once a covid hotspot, local artists applied to be part of a national effort to heal communities from the isolation and effects of covid through the National League of Cities and One Nation

One Project. Edinburg was one of 19 cities selected throughout the Country, and the only City in Texas to be selected. On July 27th all 19 selected cities will have a grand finale to the project where each community will answer the prompt of the project, "There's No Place Like Home".

City of Edinburg’s Department of Library & Cultural Arts, local artists, and health partners will showcase the community’s resilience, color, and artistic richness through inspiring message murals throughout the city and community-based art programs that promote health and well-being.

The City and its partners will also focus on establishing a strong artistic workforce through the establishment of the artist directory, entrepreneurship classes, and artistic opportunities and programming.

The art programs established will set a foundation for the programming at the City’s upcoming Art, Culture, and Event Center, scheduled to open in June 2024; the ACE Center will be in the heart of the City’s festival grounds and will serve to showcase the community’s rich Mexican culture and traditions while embracing and celebrating its growing diversity. The initiative will culminate in an Art & Wellness festival that promotes health and well-being, social connectedness, and a sense of belonging.
