Call for artists for South Lake Tahoe mural project

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The Tahoe Art League is looking for local artists or artist teams to design and create murals on multiple walls in the South Lake Tahoe area.

The murals will be primarily located in the newly established Arts District and will help to distinguish and revitalize this area. The theme is "Community Strength, Resilience and Heroes"o help celebrate the community emerging from a rather challenging last few years.

They are targeting several high-visibility walls along US50 from Harrison Ave to the Y in order to transform the area into a walkable outdoor gallery, support local artists, deepen community pride, and promote year-round diversified tourism. There is a thriving local art community in South Lake Tahoe and the art league wants to promote, celebrate, and share it.

Locations: There are a variety of walls the artist(s) can choose from including:
- The large wall behind Blue Dog Pizza at the corner of Sierra Blvd and US50 (800 Sq ft)
- The back of Remax Realty which is a segmented wall facing the Blue Dog Pizza parking lot at the corner of Sierra Blvd and US50 (180 Sq ft)
- The smaller east side of the Tahoe Art League gallery located at 3062 Lake Tahoe Blvd next to the Lake Tahoe History Museum (140 sq ft)
- The west and east-facing walls of the old Verizon building located at the corner of US50 and Tahoe Keys (500 sq ft)

The total budget is $10,000. For this, the Tahoe Art League is hoping to get approximately three murals of various sizes.

Materials may be submitted by email to info@talart.org by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, July 29.

This call is for original mural proposals only. Proposals that contain imagery that is copyrighted by a different entity, stolen, or copied from any other source will not be considered. The Tahoe Art League Board will select the artists based on the above criteria and make a recommendation to the City and the Arts, Culture and Tourism Commission for final approval.
