Hi all,
I am the arts and humanities coordinator for the City of Takoma Park in Maryland. We're submitting a grant proposal for public art installations on two new bus shelters and I'm hoping to get some advice. We don't have the budget for a custom-made or artist-fabricated shelter. One bus shelter company states it has custom glass treatments for public art. Could a mural be painted directly on treated glass and how weather-resistant would that be? My immediate thought was to have a mural painted on thin panels and mounted to the shelter so they could be removed if they are damaged. We also could have artwork prints or photos mounted in glass display cases but I don't want it to look like a standard bus kiosk advertisement.
What is a fair artist payment for murals or other installations on two bus shelters which will be roughly 13' long by 4' wide?
I've seen many amazing custom-made bus shelters with elaborate metal sculpture or woodwork, but that isn't in our budget. Please let me know if anyone has examples/advice about projects within a tight budget or links to bus shelter companies with affordable options that are suitable for public art. Thanks to everyone for keeping the arts alive during this pandemic!
Cheers,Brendan Smith
