Chilton Mural Art Project
The Chilton County Arts Council is working to beautify our communities by installing murals on several walls around our county.


​The Chilton Mural Arts Project is a public art project benefitting Chilton County that works in partnership with our communities, grassroots organizations, city agencies, schools, and philanthropies to achieve the following goals:
​
• Develop sustainable partnerships with community organizations in order to create murals that reflect the community’s culture, history, and vision
• Catalyze community empowerment, neighborhood beautification, and civic pride
• Foster youth development through experiential art education and mentorship with professional artists
• Support artists in sharing their talents and experiences with youth and communities in Chilton County
• Use the power of art to bring our communities together 

The average mural costs $8,000 to $12,000 and takes and average of 6-8 weeks to paint.  Given the expense and time constraints of the murals we will be painting each year, budgetary realities and our commitment to making murals a meaningful part of youth and community development, we are requiring that ALL murals go through a competitive selection process.  This information is to let you know how you and/or your community group can request a mural and the process we will be using to decide what murals we paint each year.

The following is a checklist of tasks applicants should use prior to applying for a mural with the Chilton Mural Arts Project.  If you can answer YES to most of these questions, you are in a good position to proceed with the application!
​
 Have I talked to my neighbors and/or community groups about a mural?
 Have I identified a wall that does not peel, crack or have leaks?
 Have I tried to speak with the wall owner and/or obtain permission for a mural on that wall?
 Do I have a fabulous idea for the mural that will be meaningful for the whole community?
 Am I able to work with Chilton Mural Arts directors to have at least three to five (3-5) meetings about the mural?
 Have I made a firm commitment to maintain the area around the mural with my neighbors?
 Did I include a photograph of the wall with my application?
​​
We prefer that the murals have some historical significance to the city/county but all submissions will be considered whether you have chosen a wall or not.  Please email your designs and applications to [email protected].   Let your imagination do the work and design several of them!

Thank you for your application and good luck!!
