Spring Street Mural Design Call
Arts Council of Princeton seeks visual artists to submit mural proposals inspired by land, water, and the underground spring.
The Arts Council of Princeton (ACP), in partnership with the Princeton Environmental Film Festival and Princeton Public Library, announces an open call for visual artists. Artists are invited to submit mural proposals inspired by the connection to and relationship with land, water, and/or the underground spring for which Spring Street is named.
The selected design will be painted on several panels spanning 32 feet by 8 feet and installed on a wall. Due to the winter season, a portion of the work may be completed indoors (off-site). The mural is scheduled to be completed and installed by February 1, 2026, and will remain on view through March 2026.
This installation will become the latest in the series of the Arts Council's Spring Street mural and a continuation of the ACP's growing public art presence in and around Princeton. Current murals include Continuum by Illia Barger at Terra Momo Bread Company, Journey by Marlon 7oveChild Davila at John Street and Leigh Avenue, asphalt murals at the ACP and Lawrenceville Elementary School, and multiple murals at Princeton Shopping Center.
A stipend of $500 will be awarded to the selected artist, and all paint and supplies will be provided by the ACP. This is an excellent opportunity for artists to contribute to the community while gaining public recognition for their work.
