!!! Opportunity for Artists !!!
Mural Design Competition
hosted by
Northwestern Mutual
Artists
and designers with an eye for interpreting history and an entrepreneurial
spirit are being sought for a mural to be created on the large conference room wall
of Northwestern Mutual. The office building is on the square of York City and
is a high traffic area. The conference room has large glass windows facing out
onto the square. The winning piece will receive an abundance of exposure due to
visibility from York’s Continental Square.
The
Northwestern Mutual mural project seeks to bring history to life in an artistic
expression. It’s not just to beautify the office, but also to tie in the
self-starting spirit we have in York and to really pick up on the unique
history of city. We are looking to have someone reach back and put up something
iconic that relates to the history of York City.
Please Provide:
1) CONTACT COVER SHEET. Please provide the artist’s name, address, telephone, e-mail, and a brief bio (< 200 words). Please reference the project name (Northwestern Mutual Mural) on all correspondence, including envelopes.
2) LETTER OF INTEREST, including a description of your approach to this project, and an overview of your concept for the Northwestern Mutual mural.
3) RESUME of artist or for each artist if a team is submitting as well as samples of prior work the artist feels Northwestern Mutual should consider.
4) DIGITAL IMAGES. Via email (christian.wagman@nmfn.com ) or dropped off at the 48 E Market St Ste. 3 office address.
The purpose of the wall is to
beautify, inspire and express the city’s history, and Northwestern Mutual’s
desire to nurture entrepreneurs. The mural will create something special for
the company’s visitors and inspire those applicants that seek to start and develop
their own financial futures.
We’re
looking for someone to give their time and talents. The competition is not for a
paid commission, but for a volunteer willing to work on the mural for the
community, build their portfolio, and inspire those who are perusing an amazing
career opportunity. Northwestern Mutual will cover the cost of the project and
materials. Northwestern Mutual will
actively follows the mural process on social media outlets as well as making
the contest know to the local media outlets for coverage opportunities and
exposure for the artiest(s).
