The site location for this project will be on a residential retaining wall at the intersection of 1st Street and Virginia Street in the City of Duvall. It is expected that this project will be located on approximately 8-9 “panels” of the retaining wall, with each letter of the name “Duvall” featuring a self-contained theme that reflects “Duvall through the Ages.” The muralist will design the mural based on the concept of a “Greetings from” mural and using the theme “Duvall through the Ages.” The muralist will then sketch the design on the mural on the pre-painted retaining wall with the understanding that the painting and completion of the mural will be performed by the Duvall community in a community special event setting. The selection committee has developed some shared thoughts on the story being told with this project that they would like to share for artists consider: the “Duvall through the Ages” theme must be clearly understood from the design; the design must be suitable for public viewing of all ages and audiences; and the design must be able to be easily painted by community members of all ages.
