We didn't pick our name by accident.

The selected artist will facilitate a collaborative effort to create a mobile mural that embodies the spirit and culture of Hagerstown’s South End. This portable artwork is intended to be a recurring feature at local community events and celebrations, promoting engagement and connection through the arts. The project requires the final piece to be durable for transport, yet substantial enough to be easily viewed and interacted with by participants. BCOH is seeking an artist who is passionate about community involvement and skilled in guiding diverse groups in a creative process, ensuring an inclusive and vibrant artistic experience for children, youth, and families.
Funding for this project is provided by The Governor’s Office for Children through Bester Community of Hope, under award number ENGH-2025-0020. The chosen artist will be compensated within a range of $5,000 to $12,000, with the final amount determined by the project’s scope and material requirements. Those interested in applying must submit their proposals by Friday, August 29, 2025, at 4:00 p.m.
For further details regarding the project or to submit an application, artists are encouraged to contact Alicia Taluskie via email at ataluskie@besterhope.org.
