Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes and the Mercer County Division of Culture & Heritage announce that Mercer County has a public art Request for Qualifications on the CaFÉ (Call for Entry) website www.callforentry.org.
The County is issuing a Request for Qualifications (Phase 1), inviting artists/artist teams who wish to be considered to submit their interest and qualifications for the creation of a public mural by Dec. 8, 2023.
This mural is to be installed on an exterior 319 ft (w) x 19 ft (h) wall located at 600 Cass Street, Trenton, N.J., on the New Jersey State Prison. This project is known as the Mercer County Cass Street Prison Mural Project.
The initial Request for Qualifications for this project will be offered only through the CaFÉ site, which is also used by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts for the Council’s Arts Inclusion opportunities.
Artists interested in submitting qualifications for this RFQ are encouraged to immediately set up a free artist’s account on CaFÉ. This free registration gives artists access to monthly listings of public arts project opportunities in New Jersey and across the nation.
Through CaFE, artists can upload up to 100 images of their work, as well as their resumes, bios and other materials that can be used in applying for commissions announced through the website.
Questions regarding the “Call for Artists” for this RFQ may be directed through CaFE once the call is posted. Artists who would like further information regarding the Mercer County Cass Street Prison Mural Project may email the Division of Culture & Heritage at cultureandheritage@mercercounty.org.
