Chelsea Main Street Park Mural Artist Call

MSPA invites artists to create an abstract, inspiring mural at Main Street Park in Chelsea. Budget: $1,200-2,500. Deadline: November 30, 2025.

The Main Street Park Alliance (MSPA) is calling for professional artists or artist teams to create a mural that embodies the core values of the Main Street Park project: community, growth, hope, wellness, and connection. Located at 500 S. Main Street, this site has been transformed from a place once defined by abandonment and contamination into a vibrant public space that serves as a symbol of renewal and possibility.

The mural should capture the spirit of transformation and reclamation, serving as a vibrant centerpiece for this reimagined community space. MSPA is seeking a design that is abstract, inspiring, and contemporary—a work that moves beyond literal depictions to evoke the deeper energy and purpose of the project. The ideal design should suggest the interconnectedness of people and nature, the rhythm of renewal, and the uplifting spirit that comes from reclaiming space for wellness, play, and belonging.

This is an excellent opportunity for professional artists or artist teams from Chelsea and the surrounding region, particularly those with experience in mural or large-scale outdoor art. The project budget ranges from $1,200 to $2,500, which includes the artist fee, design, materials, delivery, and contingency costs.

Artists interested in this opportunity should visit the Main Street Park website at www.mainstreetpark.org for complete proposal requirements, selection criteria, submission instructions, and project timeline details.
