MARTA ARTBOUND seeks artists for Kensington Station crosswalk mural

ATLANTA – The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) public art program, Artbound, announces a call for artist qualifications to create a design for a crosswalk mural at Kensington Station.

This call seeks artist qualifications, with a shortlist of 3 artists each compensated $500 to create and provide design proposals. The selected artist will receive a $5,000 fee for the final design.

The mural will be painted on the crosswalk by a third party hired by MARTA. The project aims to serve as a safe wayfinding solution for children traveling from the Kensington Station to the StationSoccer fields.

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.
