Call for artists! Especially pertinent to landscape artists. Outdoor mural at the soon to open Madison Public Market. The large-scale exterior mural, measuring approximately 12 feet high by 52 feet wide, will be prominently featured on the market’s façade at 202 N First Street. With a budget of $25,000, this opportunity invites professional artists and artist teams to create a piece of art that celebrates the botanical heritage of south-central Wisconsin. https://www.cityofmadison.com/news/2025-03-20/madison-arts-commission-seeks-artist-for-landscape-mural-at-new-public-market

It’s exciting to see the progress being made toward opening a public market in Madison–it’s been a long time coming! Not only will we have access to local foods year-round, but the vision and development of this market is truly inclusive and diverse, working with a number of women-owned businesses and entrepreneurs of color, from a diversity of cultural backgrounds. Food is such an important expression of culture and a means for connection–I’m looking forward to celebrating and connecting with our diverse community of inspiring and passionate food entrepreneurs at our public market! - Otehlia Cassidy, Madison Eats Food Tours
