Artist Alley Painted Mural

The City of Pompano Beach will commission an artist for the design and installation of a mural located in Artists Alley on an exterior wall on the back of Bailey Contemporary Arts, 41 NE 1st St, Pompano Beach, FL 33060. The Public Art Committee plans on installing two murals in 2019 in Artists Alley, continuing to beautify the alleyway and bringing the total amount of murals in this area to six. There is no specific theme for the mural, but the design should fit the location and have a strong presence with a creative concept. The design should stand up to local weather and be amenable to ongoing maintenance. Logos are not to be used. The selected artist must apply a UV resistant sealant to the finished product. Spray paint is encouraged as the medium since the wall is textured. A site visit is not required but is recommended. Current murals in Artists Alley can be viewed at www.pbpublicart.com.

The selected artist will receive $3,000, which includes all taxes, insurance, and all other fees as well as any equipment needed to complete the mural (such as cherry picker, paint, etc.). The Public Art Program Manager will review and inspect the design in person during installation and may make suggestions on the design and application that the artist must follow. The selected artist will be required to create a timelapse video of the mural as it develops. Worker's Compensation Insurance and Liability Insurance are required, with the City of Pompano Beach named as an additional insured. General Liability Insurance minimum limits are $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 per aggregate. Automobile Liability Insurance minimum is $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 per aggregate. Proof of insurance must be received and approved in writing by the City's Risk Manager before commencing work. For insurance questions, contact the City's Purchasing Department at (954) 786-4098.
