Beautiful Communities (Request for Proposals)

If you are a visual artist or muralist who can envision a blank canvas in any space, this project is for you!

The Office of Arts and Culture and the Department of Code Compliance of the City of Dallas are embarking on a project to beautify our neighborhoods. This venture involves decorating a roll off container (20 feet in length and 7 feet in height) which will be displayed in various neighborhoods in the City of Dallas as it is requested for Community Clean-Up events.
