Mural Art Application

Mural Art Application


The City outlines murals as artistic representations that are, typically, a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted, hand-tiled, or digitally printed image on the exterior wall of a building that does not contain any commercial message (i.e., does not advertise a business). When carefully developed and approved, murals enhance the City’s aesthetic value, sense of place and wellbeing. Murals can also serve to introduce and welcome visitors to the City while illustrating the City’s past, present and vision for the future.

The checklist below is intended to provide a general overview on how to install a mural that will benefit the community, artists and building/property owner. 

CHECK YOUR ELIGIBILITY

Your building must be located within city limits. Not sure if you are in the city limits? Contact City staff to determine your eligibility at mosesk@deland.org.

GET THE PROPERTY OWNER'S PERMISSION

If you do not own the building site, a written letter from the property owner stating that they have reviewed and approve your mural plan will be required.

SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS

The following supporting documents are required to be submitted with your application. Incomplete applications may not be accepted.

  • Lead artist’s resume, qualifications and examples of previous work
  • Three (3) letters of community support
  • Letter of approval from building property owner (if applicable)
  • Maintenance Plan
  • Color image of proposed mural including dimensions, colors and details
  • Two images of site (one image of existing wall as is and one image of mural superimposed)

MURAL REVIEW

After your mural application is submitted, a public meeting will be scheduled and reviewed by the Mural Art Board. If your mural is approved, a mural donation agreement and easement will need to be signed by all applicable parties.
