The Museum Broken Arrow and City of Broken Arrow Historical Mural Project
Broken Arrow, OK- The Museum Broken Arrow announced today that it is currently seeking proposals for their public art mural project. Mural artists are invited to submit a proposal for this exciting opportunity to provide a large-‐scale work of art to be displayed in downtown Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, on the south exterior museum wall. This project is to be sponsored and funded by The Museum Broken Arrow with help from the City of Broken Arrow, grants and private donations.
“One of our goals is to beautify and enhance our downtown area. Murals have a special power to tell a story about a community as well as the artist. We look forward to reviewing all submissions and seeing the talent and creativity that lies within those artists who throw their hat in the ring!” said Brown, The Museum’s Executive Director.
The City of Broken Arrow has a rich and interesting history going back to the early 1800’s and we are looking for a mural design that tells that story. The mural design should recognize the importance of the generation that built Broken Arrow as well as appeal to new generations. Visit the museum’s website or better yet, stop by the museum to research potential subject matter.
Visit the museum’s website: https://www.brokenarrowmuseum.org/museumbamural.html for photos, information about Broken Arrow’s history and the official Request For Proposal (RFP) which includes: goals, timeline, eligibility, budget etc.
The Museum Broken Arrow is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization located in historic downtown Broken Arrow. In addition to showcasing local history, the Museum also offers events, educational opportunities and facility rental. The Museum is open Tuesday Wednesday Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, call (918) 258-2616 or visit BrokenArrowMuseum.org.
