PORT ANGELES — Revitalize Port Angeles is seeking design proposals for a city water tank mural.
The organization plans to paint a mural on a city-owned water tank near the entrance to the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, 1203 E. Lauridsen Blvd.
There is no payment for designs. Proposals will be donated and work on the mural will be completed using volunteers.
Submissions can be submitted as a sketch or a mock-up, with paint cost estimates, to be dropped off at the Fine Arts Center between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Thursday through Sunday until 4 p.m. Nov. 13.
The ideal design for the tank would have a Pacific Northwest theme, be simple and blend into the surrounding area.
Consider surface
The surface of the tank is rough concrete and the design should take that into account.
The idea for painting the water tank was broached Oct. 14 at a meeting attended by representatives of the city of Port Angeles, the Fine Arts Center, local artists and members of Revitalize Port Angeles.
Fine Arts Center
Fine Arts Center staff will review the design entries, and will determine the final process for selecting the winning submission.
The center has plans for a multi-phased renovation of its entry and parking lot and so the group decided that changes to the water tank should be done in conjunction with the project.
Revitalize Port Angeles recommended that artists visit the water tank site to become familiar with the location, surrounding area, and the surface of the water tank.
The dimensions of the tank are 15 feet in height by 345.4 feet in circumference.
