What are the responsibilities and job description for the Artist position at NOW Art Foundation?
About the Program
Walmart Community Mural Program is a celebration of communities across America and an important part of a new or newly transformed facility. Inspired by the community and together with every store manager, each mural reflects the local diversity and cultural references. Every mural is a unique, original artwork. Walmart works with NOW Art, a public art agency, to curate artworks and engage artists across the country. Today, community murals are featured in hundreds of Walmart stores, and original artworks are unveiled weekly in newly transformed stores.
Details
This opportunity is with NOW Art directly to be included in our pre-qualified directory of artists for mural commissions. To participate in this program and be selected we are considering artists who create compositions in the following styles: contemporary, street art, illustration, landscape and watercolor.
This will not require any onsite work.
Artists will create the designs remotely (either traditionally or digitally) and submit the work in high-resolution format. Our organization prints and installs their work in the stores.
Skills and Qualities
- Timeliness: Artists must be able to meet tight deadlines due to the time sensitive nature of this program.
- Detail-oriented: The selected works will be significantly enlarged, so detail and an understanding of scale are key.
- Communication: Artists must be responsive collaborators with our agency.
- Experience: Artists must have a link to a strong portfolio of work that showcases a range of compositions. Previous client-based experience is a bonus.
Compensation
Compensation for the mural will be up to $1,000 per project. Inclusion in the directory does not guarantee a mural commission.
