Dobbs Ferry Gateway Mural RFQ 2026

About the Open Call

The project centers on designing a large-scale mural or visual intervention for a prominent “gateway wall” in downtown Dobbs Ferry. The selected artist or team will develop a concept that reflects the character, history, and diversity of the community while creating an engaging visual landmark. The work is expected to function both aesthetically and symbolically, serving as a recognizable entry feature and contributing to the overall branding and pedestrian experience of the downtown area. Emphasis is placed on creativity, contextual sensitivity, and the ability to communicate a strong visual identity in a public setting.
