Call for Art: Design Murals for Cambridge’s New Community Path: Cambridge Arts is seeking artists to create lenticular murals for the Grand Junction Multi-Use Path in Cambridge. The 2-mile-long path will run alongside the Grand Junction Rail Line and connect five neighborhoods. Two artists will be commissioned, and each mural project has a budget of approximately $40,000. Artists will digitally design murals to be printed on vinyl strips for vertical fence slats, creating a dynamic visual experience for path users. Apply by July 10 at http://cac.slideroom.com.
