Are you a visual artist eager to leave your mark on public spaces and the heart of the community?
BLVKBOOK is excited to share a new opportunity for artists nationwide: the Community Mural Program by NOW Art. This program is a call for bold, original mural designs that will spark conversation, beautify city landscapes, and tell stories that matter.
What’s the Program?
NOW Art is partnering with local organizations to deliver public-facing art projects across the nation. They’re seeking artists who can create unique mural compositions—whether digitally or by hand—for installation in key community spaces. Accepted artwork will be produced on premium vinyl and professionally installed, making your art visible to thousands every day.
Who Should Apply?
Are you skilled at bringing big ideas to life—whether working traditionally or digitally?
NOW Art is looking for artists who:
- Can render works by hand and/or submit clean, color-corrected digital scans
- Are proficient with tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, Procreate, or similar
- Pay close attention to detail (your work will be enlarged and needs to look amazing at scale)
- Can work efficiently—turnaround for each mural is about 10 days to two weeks
Artists must submit high-resolution files (500-720 dpi) when their project is assigned. Exact dimensions will come with your assignment.
How It Works & Compensation
- Selected artists will receive specific direction and project content from NOW Art.
- Do not start creating until you’ve received a selection and contract.
- Each finalized, approved design is compensated up to $1,000.
- Unapproved designs are not compensated.
- Selected artists will work directly with the NOW Art team throughout the project.
How to Apply
To be considered, you must submit your RFQ (Request for Qualifications) to NOW Art.
Keep in mind: submission does not guarantee selection, and NOW Art handles all artist agreements and communications. If you’re selected, you’ll be contacted for the next steps.
Already accepted into the program? There’s no need to reapply.
