BILOXI, Miss.—IP Casino Resort Spa, in partnership with the Biloxi Public Arts Project, is offering an opportunity for qualified artists based in the Mississippi Gulf Coast to design and paint a public art mural at the entrance of IP Casino Resort Spa by Spring/Summer 2022.
The goals of this mural project are to attract locals and tourists to IP and the Biloxi Main Street area; create an interactive, social media-worthy moment for visitors; provide a fun, welcoming experience to guests; and offer local artists an opportunity to expand their portfolio and professional development.
This one-of-a-kind mural will be located at the entrance of the property and will greet guests upon their arrival. Artists are asked to design a piece that is complementary to the casino and encourages guests to interact with the mural as well as share their pictures on social media.
IP’s Project Coordinator, Laura Shoemake, said: ”Our talented local artists continue to make a positive impact across Coastal Mississippi. It’s exciting for IP Casino to become a landmark on the thriving Mississippi Gulf Coast art scene. For us, this mural is a sign of community, economic growth and a warm welcome to our guests.
I’m eager to see what they design for IP’s guests and our community.”
Proposals will be accepted electronically now through 5 p.m. CST on Wednesday, January 5, 2022, and the mural installation is tentatively scheduled to begin by March or April 2022. Interested participants can visit our website for more information at www.ipbiloxi.com/whats-new/news/mural-request-for-proposals.
