Thank you for taking the time to answer the following survey questions to share your feedback for two upcoming large exterior murals which will be located at Bakers Place on 849 East Washington Ave.
Public murals can foster greater community, enhance local aesthetics, and contribute to the cultural identity of a community. We are looking to strengthen the connection between people and shared spaces and welcome your feedback on what you are interested to see reflected in these upcoming murals. We want residents and visitors to have a voice and to be included in the process and there will be other opportunities to get involved. Your comments will also be shared with the artists during their design process. One mural will be a permanent piece, and the other will be a rotating mural art wall. The mural design will change every 5-7 years, which will provide ongoing opportunities for new artists to express a variation of themes and ideas.
Thank you for sharing your insight and connecting with us!
Project Overview: Bakers Place
The development firm, The Neutral Project, and the non-profit organization the Madison Public Art Project have teamed up to create an exciting new opportunity for local artists. They have created a rotating exterior mural art wall on this new development which will offer ongoing artist opportunities as the mural art will rotate and will offer paid commissioned art opportunities for artists. The other permanent mural will be set in the exterior courtyard and will be an important gathering space for residents and guests to enjoy. The Madison Public Art Project will manage the mural walls. This is an exciting opportunity for artists to have their artwork featured in a highly visible public-facing space, to increase the vibrancy of Madison’s art scene, and to engage visitors and residents of Bakers Place with an exciting new ongoing art aesthetic.
We are collecting community feedback to gain insight into what the community would like to see included in this mural design. Please join the email list to stay updated on this exciting project.
