City of Loveland - Visions of Loveland Mural Commission

The City of Loveland Art in Public Places Program is seeking an artist or artist team to design and create a mural for City Hall that reflects Loveland's heritage and community values, while also envisioning the city's future along the Front Range. The mural should reflect Loveland's identity as a creative and welcoming community, celebrate the city's past while envisioning its future, represent images of Loveland and northern Colorado's populations and environment, enhance the civic environment in City Hall, and be durable, safe, and suitable for long-term installation in a high-traffic area.

The mural will be installed on an interior wall measuring 71 square feet on the lower level of City Hall near Utility Billing, visible to staff, residents, and visitors. The project budget is $2,150.00 and must include artist fees, design, materials, wall preparation, fabrication/installation, transportation, insurance, and all other project costs. Artists must complete installation by the end of April 2026.

Applications must include a professional résumé highlighting mural experience, a maximum of five images of past work completed within the past five years demonstrating ability to complete similar-scale mural projects, a one-page preliminary statement of approach describing relevant experience and interest in the project, and contact information for three professional references. Finalists will receive a $500 honorarium to develop and present design concepts to the Visual Arts Commission in early winter 2026. The selected artist must enter into a contract, provide general liability insurance of $1,000,000, and may not install a similar artwork within a 100-mile radius. This opportunity is open to artists who live in Loveland, own property in Loveland, or operate a business in Loveland.
