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 M&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 CONTRACT AMENDMENT 5 MANUEL PULIDO 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 FWAC 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; • Themes and Controversies; • Project Management, Budget, and Planning; • Timeline development; • Location Strategies; • Liability; • Life Expectancy,Maintenance, Conservation, &Restoration; and • Artist's rights.
