REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS

Site-specific outdoor mural at Midtown MARTA Station along the Peachtree Place façade

Midtown Alliance, in collaboration with MARTA, is seeking qualifications from artists for the commissioning of a site-specific mural at Midtown MARTA Station on the south plaza. Midtown Station is one of the district's most visible stations, and a key connection point for Midtown residents, workers, students and visitors. While the station has long served Midtown as a central business district, the last several years have brought increased residential investment around the station as well.

This mural will be a major component of and set the tone for a larger placemaking enhancement effort at this plaza, including sculptural seating, lighting and other activations to be revealed this spring. This is one of multiple placemaking efforts planned for 2018. Midtown Alliance's art and activation program seeks to enhance Midtown's public realm by making publicly-accessible spaces that are comfortable, safe and vibrant for all to use. In 2016, Midtown Alliance introduced "The Porch," transforming a vacant plaza at Arts Center Station into a colorful and lively community asset.

All qualifications must be submitted via e-mail by Friday, February 2nd at 12 pm EST to:
