Post Content: The Marda Loop BIA (Business Improvement Area) is looking for an artist to design 5 distinctive street banners for the Marda Loop business district, now that the “main streets” construction is reaching completion.
We are looking for designs that reflect the history of Marda Loop, but also with an eye to continuity to the present and future. A newly researched history of the Marda Loop area will be available to the artist for inspiration, and potential use of photographs. The artist will also have access to input from the BIA’s volunteer Streetscape Committee and local history experts. Marda Loop brand material is also available. Each of the 5 designs will hang in a pair alongside branded Marda Loop BIA banners (which may be colour-matched to the “art” banner), decorating our newly built streetscape.
Project Description:
• The banners are 28” wide x 48” long.
• There are up to 50 locations available on 33rd and 34th Avenues SW and connecting streets.
• The banners will be durably printed and are expected to last at least 5 years.
• The artist will be required to provide digital artwork files. There are no additional funds available for digitizing traditional artworks (i.e.: paintings, drawings)
• The artist will be required to work with the printer on details of implementation.
• The artist will be required to participate in promotion of the banners (e.g. news release, social media, unveiling event, interview. A maximum of 4 promotions)
• The final designs will be approved by the Marda Loop BIA.
Compensation: $6000
