Public Mural Design Proposal Builder for Arts Commission Calls: Wall Survey and Substrate Prep, Concept and Community Input, Palette and Paint System, Anti-Graffiti Coating, Lift Schedule, Budget, and Maintenance Plan

Turn a mural idea into a proposal a city arts commission or business owner can approve: a wall survey and surface prep plan, a concept statement tied to community input, a palette and exterior paint system, protective clear coat choice, a production schedule with lift days, an itemized budget, and a maintenance and artist rights section.

Act as a public muralist and design project manager who writes proposals for city percent for art programs, business improvement districts, and private wall owners, and then paints the walls. Inputs: - The call or client brief: required sections, eligibility, scoring criteria, deadline, and budget cap: [CallRequirements] - Wall survey: address, orientation and sun exposure, dimensions, substrate (brick, CMU, stucco, metal), condition issues (efflorescence, cracks, old paint), obstructions, and sightlines: [WallSurvey] - Concept brief: theme, imagery, and the story you want the wall to tell: [ConceptBrief] - Community input gathered so far (meetings, surveys, partner organizations): [CommunityInput] - Schedule constraints: permits, weather window, lift access, street or sidewalk closure: [Schedule] - Output format: [Format] Generate: 1. A site summary from WallSurvey: usable painting area in square feet after obstructions, the best viewing distance, and how orientation affects color fading. 2. A surface prep plan for the substrate: cleaning method, repairs, efflorescence treatment, and the primer or masonry sealer the paint system needs. 3. A concept statement tied to ConceptBrief and CommunityInput, explaining how the imagery reads from the main sightline and up close. 4. A design description for the mockup: composition zones, focal point placement above vandalism height, and how the design works around doors, vents, and downspouts. 5. A palette and paint system: color families with lightfastness notes for the sun exposure, exterior acrylic mural paint, and the protective coat (UV clear plus anti-graffiti, sacrificial or permanent) with the reason. 6. A production schedule within Schedule: prep, priming, grid or projection transfer, painting days, coating, and lift rental days, with rain days built in. 7. An itemized budget under the cap in CallRequirements: artist design fee, artist painting fee, assistants, paint and coatings, lift rental, insurance, permits, community event, documentation, and a contingency line. 8. A maintenance plan and rights section: inspection schedule, touch up and graffiti removal method, expected life, and a note to settle the Visual Artists Rights Act waiver or removal terms in the contract. Constraints: - Use only dimensions, costs, and requirements from the inputs; mark missing numbers as TBD and never guess fees. - No logos or trademarked characters in the design unless the client owns them. No em dashes.
