The RFQ is the first three-phased process concluding with the installation of a single public art project with a budget of $12,000 for materials, design, and production, according to the release.
According to the release, the proposed mural location is comprised of a two-sided curved staircase from the landing at Centennial Overlook down to the Great Miami River. The mural is a part of a larger project that will draw people down to the river and will feature the poem by Paul Lawrence Dunbar “On the River”.
The project selection committee will choose up to three finalists. Those finalists will receive a $750 stipend for their proposals.
