Request for Proposals: Damen & Leland Mural Project

Home » Request for Proposals: Damen & Leland Mural Project

The Greater Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce and Special Service Area #31 are seeking proposals from artists for a mural on Damen Avenue. This new mural will be located adjacent to a “People Space” at the northeast corner of Damen and Leland where residents often unwind and enjoy a cup of coffee. The goal of this project is to enhance the connection between local artists and residents, showcase the creativity of our community, and encourage use of the Damen Leland People Space.

To be assured of consideration, submissions must be received no later than 5:00 PM CDT on Friday, June 6, 2025. No additional or missing documents will be accepted after the due date and time, except as may be requested by GRCC.
