The selected artist will be tasked with designing a mural that highlights knowledge of marsh and/or prairie plants native to our area of Wisconsin. The selected artist(s) will demonstrate their knowledge of Wisconsin’s native plants or their ability to consult experts in the field to ensure botanical and cultural accuracy of the mural.
Applications responding to the request for qualifications are due by noon on April 4, 2025. The selection process will be conducted by the Madison Arts Commission. The selected artist will be notified by April 11, 2025, with their final design due by May 9, 2025. Mural production is currently scheduled for June 2025.
The Madison Public Market, a 45,000-square-foot facility being developed in the former City Fleet Building, will house more than 30 permanent vendors and 100 temporary vendors across 3.5 acres. The market will be operated by the Madison Public Market Foundation, a non-profit organization.
This mural project is funded by a generous grant from the Hoke Family Foundation to the Friends of Madison Arts Commission.
Professional artists or artist teams with experience creating outdoor works suitable for Wisconsin’s climate are encouraged to apply.
