MARTA Artbound program seeks artists for rail station mural projects

ATLANTA -MARTA’s public art program, Artbound, has issued a call for artists to submit designs for new murals at Edgewood/Candler Park and Oakland City rail stations.

This call will be a streamlined process for artists so that one application may be submitted for multiple mural projects. The selection panel for the Edgewood/Cander Park and Oakland City murals will convene during the week of May 6, or shortly after. The call will re-open for future mural projects later this year or next, with artist fees varying, depending on the project.

One percent of MARTA’s annual budget is allocated for its Artbound program, which was developed to enhance the ridership experience through visual and performing arts.
