Up to three finalists will be selected to develop concept proposals for this project. The total project budget for the selected commission is not to exceed $21,000. These may include, but are not limited to costs for: materials; painting supplies; rentals (lifts, scaffolding, etc.); third party contractors needed to complete the work; and misc. expenses.
Each finalist will be paid a $100.00 stipend for his/her proposal. The selected artist/art team will be paid up to $1,500.00 for the commissioned work. The selected artist/art team will be responsible for their own travel costs, housing, and personal liability insurance. Finalists will be required to present their work to the Selection Committee. If a finalist prefers to present their concept proposal virtually, then arrangements will be made to do so.

CHATTANOOGA
Chattanooga is a city with the most breath-taking landscapes and sits right on the banks of the Tennessee River, nestled between the Cumberland Plateau and the towering Appalachian Mountains. Because of this, Chattanooga has earned the nickname “The Scenic City.” Chattanooga is best known for Glenn Miller’s famous song “The Chattanooga Choo Choo.” One of the coolest things about Chattanooga is its history told through architecture the city is surrounded by brick warehouses, many of which have been repurposed into housing, bridges, an recently an explosion of murals. The population of Chattanooga, as well as Hamilton County represent a diverse ethnic mix and range of values exemplifying what the concept of community is all about. A project such as the Don’t Forget the Bridge constitutes a sense of unification and diversity. The mural will connect people, personalise spaces and activate civic dialogue to develop and sustain the revitalization of our shared environments, through helping create culturally vibrant and livable communities.
