Street Banners Project
Marda Loop BIA
Compensation: $6000
Deadline for applications: January 19, 2025
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 33 and 34 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.
Please provide a CV or artist’s resume, a portfolio of work (maximum 10 images) and a Letter of Interest
that describes your interest in the project and how you are qualified. Submit in PDF form to
info@visitmardaloop.com.
This opportunity will remain open until end of day January 19, 2025 or until an
artist is chosen. Any questions? email info@visitmardaloop.com.
Timeframe: We will work with the chosen artist on deadlines, but the intention is for designs to be
completed by March 31, 2025.
