Calling Artists! City of Superior needs art to protect Superior water!

In 2014 the City of Superior worked with 6 local artists to bring public art to Superior via the Storm Drain Art project. This resulted in 6 sidewalk murals throughout Superior which bring attention to storm drains and increase understanding of the direct connection between storm drains and the nearest lake or stream. We are reviving this project with a call for artists interested in the 2018 Storm Drain Art Project!

Who: Individuals living, working, or attending school in Superior, and tribal members living in the ceded territory of the Lake Superior watershed are eligible to submit a design of their proposed storm drain painting. 12 finalists will be selected. 2 spots will be reserved for each of the following categories: Professional artists—Amateur artists—Students. 

When: Submission deadline is Aug. 1. Other events include a design workshop in August. Paintings will be complete by Sept. 26 and an art opening highlighting the project will be on display in a Superior Art Gallery in mid-October.

All painting supplies, site selection, and safety equipment will be provided by the City of Superior.
