CALL FOR ARTISTS:

SOON TO EXPIRE:

Bus Shelters Seeking Artists: The City of Brea is seeking artists to
create original paintings for the City's unique Art Shelters. The Art Shelters
are actually bus stop shelters, specially designed to display
two-dimensional art pieces throughout the City. Each Art Shelter holds two 3' x 5' acrylic paintings on panels, totaling in size to 3' x 10'. Artists will paint both 3' x 5' panels for a commission of $700. The Art Shelters are just another
aspect of Brea's notable public arts program. For more information 714.990.7177

Art Commission
A $700 art commission will be awarded to the selected artists when they
complete & deliver the two 3' x 5' panels. The number of artists
selected will be based on the availability of Art Shelters. The City of Brea will
provide the art panels & the artist provides the supplies. All artwork becomes the
property of the City of Brea when the artwork & the commission is completed &
delivered.

Photo Information

your style of work. Applicants will be judged on conceptual sketches in
addition to past work. Please limit your submittal to six photos/images. Please

originality as demonstrated by conceptual sketches & photos submitted. Entries missing the application form, photos, &/or colored conceptual sketch may be
