The Bloomberg Philanthropies – Asphalt Art Initiative is an example of utilizing art as a means for traffic calming, pedestrian safety and neighborhood improvement. These projects are in partnership with the Public Works Department (PW), with the goal of incorporating civic art into daily life.
The City will hire and use a General Contractor— who will perform construction or rehabilitation of the street, intersection, and/ or crosswalk at the project locations before the murals are installed/painted— to perform the mural installation/painting of the crosswalk and/or intersection. Therefore, Artists and/or Artist Teams should not include in the project budget the cost of materials and labor to install/paint the murals. The Library and the ACC are committed to amplifying cultural voices through a lens of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Antiracism (IDEA), and encourage artists of all cultural backgrounds to consider applying for this opportunity.
