Superior Arizona- The Superior Chamber of Commerce is seeking commercial building property-owners in the downtown Superior area who would like to participate in a Rebuild Superior murals project.
A commercial building’s facade or side wall area primarily must be highly visible in the community and to passersby. Additional criteria are:
1) The owner must invite the Chamber to paint a mural (“A painting or other work of art executed directly on a wall”) on his/her building;
2) The owner must allow before, during and after photos to be taken;
3) The owner must be willing to review possible murals with the Art Committee to determine a mutually agreed upon design;
4) Owner must be willing to contribute financially to the costs, which will be determined with owner before a contribution is negotiated;
5) The owner must allow Chamber-coordinated volunteers to help paint the mural; and
6) Owner must allow the resulting mural to be photographed, publicized in the community and used in Chamber, or other, publications related to Rebuilding Superior.
Interested property-owners are urged to contact Ken to express initial interest and to set up a meeting with the Art Committee.
The Chamber’s Art Committee Consultant, Juliana Brutsche, has extensive outdoor murals experience and will be managing the selected projects with Ken. Ken is a member of the Chamber Business Attraction & Retention Committee and has extensive project management experience. This past year, with property-owners, the Chamber painted murals at Random Boutique and the Payer Motors building, both on Main Street, as part of Rebuilding Superior.
For background: The Chamber’s Business Attraction & Retention (“BAR”) Committee is focused on helping existing businesses to expand, attracting new businesses and encouraging entrepreneurship in Superior. The BAR Committee has set up three sub-committees—Art, Marketing and Blight Mitigation—to work on improving the whole community. For information about the BAR Committee and to volunteer for any of the sub-committees, please contact Sue Anderson, Chamber President at 602-625-3151.
