5 Points Archway Public Arts Project

Emerge Gallery & Art Center   /   Deadline: 08/15/15

The Pitt County Arts Council, in collaboration with the City of Greenville, North Carolina, invites visual and graphic artists located nationwide to create original designs for the 5 Points Archway Public Art Project. Designs should have an emphasis on community, innovation, and/or culture. Artists will create original designs that will be reproduced on large banners measuring 10ft x 20ft and installed in 5 archways on the side of Starlight Cafe located at 104 W. Fifth Street in Greenville, NC. The archways face 5 Points Plaza, a parking area that is converted to an events location for popular events such as Freeboot Fridays, Umbrella Market, and PirateFest. One artist will be chosen and will receive a $3,000 honorarium and the opportunity to have their artwork reproduced on the five banners. The banners will be on display for 2 to 3 years, and then rotated thereafter.
