Sherwood Drive

This file is a call for artists from the City of Fairburn, Georgia, seeking creative professionals to design and paint artistic crosswalks at four designated public locations: Fairburn Youth Center, Duncan Park, Landmark Christian School, and Campbell Elementary School. Eligible artists must be at least 18 years old with 1-3 years of experience in mural painting or public artwork creation and must be authorized to work in the United States. Artists may submit up to four designs, with each location evaluated independently, and may collaborate with volunteers or partner organizations during installation. The artwork must be original, monochromatic or limited to six colors maximum, and appropriately scaled to cover the full crosswalk dimensions. All designs must comply with content restrictions prohibiting profanity, nudity, gang symbols, political or religious messaging, advertisements, and any content deemed inappropriate or offensive to the public.

The project requires artists to use exterior acrylic latex-based paint with a non-skid/slip-resistant sealant and a final grip coat; oil-based paints are prohibited. The specifications emphasize that all work must meet public safety and aesthetic standards appropriate for community spaces. While specific compensation amounts, response deadlines, and award dates are not detailed in the provided file, the project is designed to foster community pride and public engagement through transformative public art installations at high-visibility locations throughout Fairburn.
