Osawatomie is launching a new Mural Project. The Osawatomie Arts Commission is seeking a qualified artist, or artists, to design and implement one or two sets of small-scale exterior murals at designated Community Gateways. Murals will be painted on the wing walls of the Sixth Street Levee and Eighth Street Levee, with the designs positioned outward to welcome visitors when they enter the community.
Each location includes two wall faces for a total of four possible implementation areas. The two faces at each location must be in harmony, but do not necessarily need to be mirror images, according to the project guidelines. Artists are welcome to apply for one location — creating one set of two coordinating walls — or both locations, creating two sets of two coordinating walls or one set of four coordinating walls. The project will be funded through a Grant Award from the Allen W. and Gladys Hawkins Charitable Foundation.
