EXHIBIT A
Pilot Mural Project Outline
OBJECTIVE
The objectives of the FWPA pilot mural project are to support the FWPA goals in creating an
enhanced visual environment and integrating design work of professional artists into city
infrastructure. By focusing attention on constructive mark-making and community
engagement/ownership as an initiative to eradicate graffiti, the FWPA pilot project will contract
with professional artists to design and lead fabrication of an approved mural but also engage
community youth to assist in pre-design planning and fabrication. A program styled to bring
talented youth into the design and implementation of the mural-making process is supported by
the success of various national programs, including Philadelphia Mural Arts.
INVITATIONAL ARTIST AND YOUTH SELECTION PROCESSES
FWPA will invite three-to-four artists or artist teams to submit qualifications and letters of
interest to act as lead artist for the FWPA Pilot Mural Project. Artists will have proven
experience of working in a large-scale format, ability to manage a public art project, experience
working with community and youth, and will express an openness to participate in the Artist
Mural Training Workshop and with the advisory panel. An artist selection panel comprised of
the following:
• one Art Commissioner;
• one Council District representative; and
• one representative of the advisory panel
will select the lead artist or artist team through a review and interview process. The selected
artist or artist team will enter a professional services agreement with the City of Fort Worth. No
III&C is required for this project.
Student nominees middle and high school students who have participated in arts programs
and are Northside residents or Safe City Art Contest participants selected by Safe City
Commission, Inc. will take part in introductory artist meetings defining program goals and
volunteer for a fabrication workshop. In collaboration with the lead artist(s), an overarching
theme will be explored and developed. The lead artist will make the ultimate decision as to the
final theme to be
developed. Pre-design materials (drawings, narratives, etc) created by youth participants will be
submitted to the lead artist(s) for preliminary design layout and approval. The lead artist will
present the final design to -the F WAC for approval. Students are encouraged to participate in the
fabrication workshop at the Fort Worth Community Art Center. Creation of the mural at the Art
Center and on a substrate to be installed after completion elevates the collaboration experience,
provides a controlled focused environment, and avoids liability issues of working on-site.
In addition to the Pilot Mural Project, FWPA will provide an artist-training workshop to allow local
artists to learn mural methods and techniques through a one-day artist training session. The training
session will be administered by an experienced muralist or mural team, and the training workshop
will be open to all artists interested in the pilot or future mural projects. This one-day session will
include an overview of issues, including the following:
• Guidelines, Procedures, and Processes;
i Themes and Controversies;
Project Management, Budget, and Planning;
• Timeline development;
• Location Strategies;
Liability-,
■ Life Expectancy, Maintenance, Conservation, & Restoration; and
o Artist's rights.

BACKGROUND
As early as November 2008, in an effort to support the City's efforts to curb graffiti, FWPA has
been a part of ongoing discussions with the City and community stakeholders about creating murals
in the City. Topics of interest included the following:
• Enhancing the visual environment;
• Developing visual reputation;
• Building community in affected areas; and
• Providing valuable social/educational experiences for community youth.
From those discussions, strategies were recommended, including the following:
• Develop a multi-tiered program with community stakeholders. ex: FWISD, FWPD, Safe
City, Boys and Girls Club, FWPA;
• Develop early prevention program through F W I S D art program;
• Coordinate with artists and arts organizations; and
• Develop city-wide guidelines (mural policy).
On April 22 2009, FWPA hosted a public lecture at the Rose Marine Theater titled The Big Picture:
Transforming Philadelphia into the "City of Murals" by Judie Gilmore Lomnes, Director of
Strategic Initiatives and Planning for the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program. Ms. Lomnes
highlighted examples from the Philadelphia mural collection and detailed the transition of the Mural
Arts Program from an anti-graffiti initiative in to a comprehensive mural arks program.
Page 14 of 15
A planning workshop with city staff and interested stakeholders occurred the following day.
Council member Joel Burns and twenty representatives from four city departments (Parks and
Community Services, Fort Worth Police, Code Compliance, and Planning and Development), one
county representative (Tarrant County Juvenile Services), four arts organizations (Imagination
Celebration, Amphibian Productions, Artes de la Rosas, and Cultural Center de las Americas), and
three youth service organizations (Boys & girls Flub, All. Saints Youth Group, and Tarrant County
Juvenile Services) attended the workshop.
As a result of the planning workshop, the Fort Worth Art Commission approved funds for a FWPA
pilot mural project in the FY201 o Fort Worth Public Art Work Plan.
