The Westfield Public Arts Commission is seeking artists to design and paint two new murals at Gumbert Park, which will celebrate Westfield baseball and softball, community, and inclusion. Artists may submit proposals for one or both walls, and selected designs will be painted offsite for installation in spring 2027.

There are two walls available; Wall #1 is 12 x 8′ tall (3 boards), Wall #2 is 20 x 8′ tall (5 boards). Artists will paint on provided 4 x 8′ boards that will be installed in Spring 2027. Artists can apply for one or two walls. Artists must provide name, email, phone number, address, artist bio, description of mural design, mockups, and previous mural designs or artwork. Applicants must also provide a requested compensation. Artist selection will take place in December 2026; selected artist(s) will be required to pick up boards and paint offsite, with an installation date anticipated for March 2027. Questions can be sent to publicart@westfieldnj.gov.

The City of Norfolk, Virginia seeks to commission an artist to create a permanent artwork for the Waterside Parking Garage, a prominent gateway to Downtown and the waterfront. The installation should reflect movement, connection, and the innovative spirit of Norfolk, offering a bold visual landmark for commuters and visitors alike.

LOCATION/CONTEXT: The Waterside Garage is one of Norfolk’s most visible entry points, positioned between the Elizabeth River and Downtown and experienced by commuters, visitors, and waterfront travelers alike. Its location makes it an important civic landmark, and this project offers an opportunity to create a welcoming and memorable presence for all who enter the city.

The façade is also highly visible from the Elizabeth River, making the artwork a landmark for passengers on cruise ships docking in Norfolk, attendees of major waterfront festivals in Town Point Park, and pedestrians moving between the waterfront and the city. This site acts as a literal and symbolic connector—from river to city, from suburbs to downtown, from park to skyline. Norfolk itself is a city defined by connection: a critical hub where ports, trains, ships, medical centers, technology firms, NATO, the Navy, Universities, and the vibrant arts community intersect. The selected artwork should reflect this identity of movement, transition, and innovation.

The garage is a typical concrete structure matching the surrounding landscape of gray‑toned buildings. Its exterior is defined by distinct horizontal bands of positive and negative space created by the open-air parking levels. Due to tree coverage, visibility on the first three floors is limited, especially in summer.

THEME/STYLE: Set within the dynamic cultural landscape of Norfolk’s Innovation Corridor, an area energized by the diverse communities that shape the city’s identity, the installation will serve as a vibrant focal point. The artwork should evoke movement and connection, creating a bold, colorful and welcoming presence for commuters and visitors.

We are seeking artwork with a strong visual presence—a true “wow factor”—that will serve as a memorable symbol of the city’s creativity, forward-thinking identity and innovation. Ideally, it will be something visitors and residents remember and talk about after their time in the city.

Because the work will be viewed primarily by drivers it should be easily legible at a glance and from a distance, while still offering layered detail and visual interest for pedestrians and waterfront viewers.

The Johnson City Public Art Committee is seeking proposals from artists or art teams for the commission of stencil designs to be installed on sidewalks by storm drains in Downtown Johnson City and surrounding neighborhoods.
The stencil designs will be installed using the product called “Invisible Spray” manufactured by the Rainworks company which, when applied, creates a superhydrophobic coating that repels water. The designs made with the spray are practically invisible when the concrete surface is dry, but when they become wet, the artwork will appear.
ELIGIBILITY: This opportunity is open to all professional artists over the age of 18 with previous art and design experience.
BUDGET: Up to 8 proposals will be selected for the project, and each finalist will be paid a $300 honorarium for their finalized design. The artist will be responsible for submitting a digital file of the design only; they will not be responsible for fabrication of the stencil or installation.
PROJECT THEME: The designs will be installed next to storm drains to raise awareness about the importance of environmental stewardship in relation to water quality. They will contain imagery and text that remind passersby that the storm drains feed directly into creeks and rivers, and therefore, pollutants around them (chemicals, litter, pet waste, etc.) should be minimized.
All designs must include the text, “Only Rain Down the Drain” to create a consistent educational message across all the designs on exhibit. The text formatting, text size, and all associated imagery will be left up to the discretion of the artist. Artists may submit up to 3 designs.
