Big Picture Large Mural Project RFP for Regional Artists

Side-of-Skinner-BuildingLogistics Plus continues its community service with an exciting new project opportunity. The Big Picture, a collaborative effort of the Erie Art Museum, the YMCA of Erie, and Erie Arts & Culture with support from Tungsten Creative Group, is requesting proposals from regional artists for a design, installation plan and budget for a large-scale mural to be located on the east wall of the Logistics Plus Skinner Warehouse (formerly the Skinner Engine Building) located at 337 West 12th Street, Erie, Pennsylvania. The goal of the mural is to build pride and a greater understanding of Erie’s manufacturing history while beautifying Erie’s most heavily traveled street. It is estimated that an average of between 10,000 and 20,000 vehicles travel along the 12th Street corridor daily. Funding for the project is provided in part by a grant from Erie Insurance Group. Work must be completed by April 2016.
