The City of Aurora will be commissioning a Public Art Mural along the south side of Mundy Park, at 31 S. Broadway Ave. Mundy Park is a public space in Downtown Aurora, connecting Broadway Ave. to the Water Street Pedestrian Mall, and serving as an outdoor concert space for The Venue, a non-profit live music venue. The mural design chosen for this project will express the diverse musical history of Aurora, inclusive of but not limited to the 1930s Leland Bluebird Sessions. The mural will be painted on multiple aluminum panels, provided by the City, to be installed on the brick, north-facing façade of 31 S. Broadway, by the City. The space available for this project is 12’ high by 60’ wide. Pending the nature of submissions and total cost of bids, the mural design may or may not extend to the visible, exterior second story of 33 S. Broadway. As the north façade of 33 S. Broadway is poured concrete in good condition, a potential, second-story extension of the design onto this wall would be painted directly onto the concrete surface.
