First Street Green, in cooperation with NYC Dept. of Parks and Recreation, calls for ideas and volunteer support for an initiative to paint murals on the plywood walls installed in First Park, along the north side of Houston Street near Second Avenue.
Each selected artist will be assigned a site within a designated sub-section of the panels. These panels will be repainted on a rotating basis, with an average duration of 2 to 3 months. Proposals can involve single sections or multiple section designs.
The artists chosen will execute their designs. Artists will be responsible for the cost of all art materials and clean-up, and the completion of their design.
Deadline for Submissions has been extended to July 31, 2014.
