FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) — Artists are being invited to submit proposals for a new public mural in Fort Wayne’s Fairfield Terrace Belmont neighborhood.

The project is part of the Fort Wayne Public Art Commission’s SHOUT-OUT program, which supports public art projects intended to strengthen neighborhood identity and community involvement.

The artist selected for the project will work with residents to incorporate their ideas into the mural. Fort Wayne artist, media producer and filmmaker William Bryant Rozier will serve as the project manager.

Artists can review the city’s request for proposals and application requirements through Engage Fort Wayne.

Applications must be submitted by 5 p.m. Monday, Aug. 31.

The project is funded through Public Art Giveback contributions overseen by the Public Art Commission.
