Magical Mural Tour

September 2 - October 14 

MAGICAL MURAL TOUR – CALL FOR ENTRIES

WHAT IS THE MAGICAL MURAL TOUR?

We could all use a little bit of art, sprinkled with happiness, so that’s exactly what we are going to do!  The Magical Mural Tour will see 4’ x 8’ pop-up murals all around Downtown Rochester!    The Tour begins on September 2 and will continue through October 14.

WANT TO JOIN THE TOUR?

We are accepting applications from artists through Friday, June 28.  The Magical Mural Tour is open to all artists, professional or just playing, and all ages too. 

Artists must complete an application and submit an 8 ½” x 11” rendering of your proposed mural.  Artists whose designs are selected will be provided with a 4’ x 8’ plywood sheet for your “canvas”.  A plaque will accompany each mural including the artist’s name and title of your mural. 

All murals will be entered into Judges Choice & People’s Choice Contest, with the winning mural artists each receiving a $250 cash prize!

THE DETAILS

Selected artists will be contacted in July.  You are responsible for picking up your plywood sheet and returning it by Thursday, August 22.  Drop off will be at the Downtown Collaboration Studio, 431 S. Main Street.

All murals will be placed outdoors and must be weather resistant.  Artists must be available for touch ups that might be required during the Tour.

THE FINE PRINT

Artwork CANNOT include political statements, profanity, nudity, logos, QR codes, religious symbols, libel, slander or social disrespect.  In short, let’s BE KIND! 

If your design is selected, it becomes the property of the Rochester Downtown Development Authority (DDA).  The DDA reserves the right to use your design for the purpose of promoting the event through, but not limited to, social media, print advertising and media releases.
