A Request for Proposals (RFP) has been released for artists interested in creating the mural. Regional muralists and qualified public artists are encouraged to apply. A muralist will be selected in early 2026, with project completion and public unveiling anticipated in summer 2026. This opportunity represents an exciting step forward for the regional initiative, showcasing Pulaski's strong commitment to enhancing its downtown and celebrating local creativity.
