City of Aurora: RFQ Mural Opportunity

The City of Aurora is seeking artists for the following two Request for Qualifications:

21-50: The City of Aurora will be providing a Public Art presence as part of a Downtown Park Renovation; this Legacy Mural will be located on the North face of 13 S. Broadway Ave. This request for bids is for the design and installation of a 40’ high by 20’ wide mural to be painted on an exterior wall. This application process is a request for qualifications based on previous work; this is not a request for a design. Should an Artist be selected for this project, they will then be paid to design a mural, in their own established style, that incorporates content reflective of Aurora’s Community, Culture, and/or Natural Environment.

21-56: The City of Aurora will be providing a Public Art presence as part of a Downtown Park Renovation between 7 S. Broadway and 13 S. Broadway. This request for bids is for a single Designer or Design Firm to design 4 interactive murals, each including 2D graphic design, 3D animation, augmented reality development, and publication on a cross-platform mobile app. The 2D designs will be printed 8’ high by 12’ wide each, framed, and installed on the south wall of 7 S. Broadway. Using a QR code or other camera recognition, the public will be able to view 3D animation of the mural through their mobile phones.
