Artists Needed: Two $4,000 Alley Mural Projects Open in Greeley

Do you know a talented artist looking for work? The city of Greeley is looking for artists to complete two new musically-themed alley murals in downtown Greeley.

The projects will be completed on a brick wall, and the other mural will be on metal or wood panels placed over brick. The City will assist with the installation for the second mural.

The DDA and the City of Greeley agree to maintain the mural for three years keeping the artwork free from debris and will repair any damage and/or vandalism.
