REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
RFP26-002 MURAL ARTIST FOR VERIZON/FRONTIER BUILDING

The City of New Port Richey’s Community Redevelopment Agency is seeking to retain a qualified, highly creative, and motivated artist to design and paint a desired, and approved, mural design (Project) on the side of the Verizon/Frontier Building in the Railroad Square portion of Historic Downtown NPR. Themes may continue to promote community history, but could also be used to reinforce the unique character of the New Port Richey community. The CRA encourages variety in the use of colors, especially vibrant colors in Railroad Square and other activity spaces. While there are excellent examples of public art within the community, this is a rare opportunity to convey that New Port Richey is an “arts community.”
