City Post Chophouse is inviting a call for artist entries for an interior mural at the historic post office turned restaurant.
“CITY POST CHOPHOUSE invites artist design entries for a unique mural project at the historic Post Office located at 113 E. 8th St. in beautiful downtown Georgetown, Texas,” according to the Georgetown Arts and Culture Board. “The selected artist will design and install the mural on an interior plaster wall of the building in the original Postmaster’s office, now the City Post market.”
The application deadline is September 16, 2022 and each artist may submit up to three unique designs for consideration. There is no application fee and entries can be sent to citypostchop@gmail.com.
“The project is inspired by post office murals originally commissioned by the U.S. Government as part of the New Deal in the 1930s,” according to the Georgetown Arts and Culture Board. “While the post office in Georgetown was not one of the 69 Federal buildings in Texas to receive artist installations, City Post would like to pay homage to the roots of the building during this period in American history with an original mural that honors that legacy and enhances the present use of the building. The wall chosen for the mural provides an opportunity for the public to view the installation and learn more about this facet of history.”
