Asphalt Art Mural: Downer & Stolp
Aurora Public Art will be sponsoring the City's first asphalt art mural this summer, to be painted on the street pavement within the pedestrian crosswalks at Stolp Ave. and E. Downer Pl. in Downtown Aurora. This paid opportunity is for an experienced muralist to create the design, and to transfer the outlines of the design to the pavement within one day. The ideal design will reference Pop Art. Public Art will manage a team of volunteer artists to paint in the shapes over the course of a second day, and will supply all necessary materials for outlining and painting.
Location: The intersection of Stolp Avenue and East Downer Place, approximately 28’ x 88’
Submission Deadline: 4/30
Installation Date: June, TBD
