Call for Artist - Sunridge Park Tennis Court

The City of Henderson has issued a call for artists to design and create a mural at Sunridge Park, located at the intersection of Sandy Ridge Avenue and Rocky Ridge Road, adjacent to the Coral Academy of Science Sandy Ridge Campus. The project involves painting two designated areas, totaling approximately 64 square feet, which are composed of two boxes measuring roughly 1’9” by 3’6” and 1’6” by 1’6”. The mural's theme must center around tennis, capturing the physicality, excitement, and skill associated with the sport, and should complement the nearby tennis courts to enhance the park’s cultural and aesthetic appeal. Artists or artist teams selected will be awarded up to $1,500 for their work, with a deadline for mural completion set for June 17th, 2024. The project aims to make Henderson’s parks more welcoming and engaging for the community, supporting the City’s broader efforts to promote recreational and cultural enrichment. The solicitation, identified as RFI 160-24, was posted on April 22, 2024, with a response deadline of May 13, 2024. Interested artists are required to register through NGEM to access detailed submission instructions and additional information. The project emphasizes timely completion and artistic quality, with the City providing a clear framework for submission and selection. This initiative aligns with the City of Henderson’s commitment to fostering community engagement through public art, contributing to the vibrancy and inclusivity of Sunridge Park.
