Call For Artists – Raising Cane’s Retaining Wall Mural

The project must display imagery that expresses Raising Cane’s philosophy of “Giving Back.”

The City of San Marcos, in partnership with Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers, is seeking proposals from artists and/or artist teams to design and create a mural on the retaining wall located at the restaurant.

This mural will be an addition to a series of murals created throughout the city.  The murals are located in high visibility areas that have been repeatedly tagged with graffiti.

The project must display imagery that expresses Raising Cane’s philosophy of “Giving Back.” The City of San Marcos wants to expand on this theme with the phrase, “Food Security and Sustainability.” Imagery can be simple or abstract as long as it promotes at least one or more of the following themes:

• Giving back to the community
• Food security
• Farm-to-table
• Community gardens
• Solving childhood hunger
• Local establishments with longstanding contribution to feeding our community
• Images related to the above artistic themes

The artist stipend for this project is $4,000.  Materials for the project will be provided by the City of San Marcos. The application deadline is Monday, Jan. 22, 2018, 5 p.m. CST.
