We encourage artists of all levels and experience to apply! The mural park aims to represent a diverse selection of artists from background to style. We see this opportunity as a great way to gain exposure to a large audience and challenge your art-making process. However, due to the requirements of the live painting and the expectation of a fully completed mural within a small time frame, artists who have never painted murals or large-scale paintings will not be as competitive. One of the application requirements is to show previous outdoor or indoor mural work regardless of how formal or informal, or a painting at a scale of at least  4’ x 4.’ This ensures that while an artist may even have just a little mural experience – the State Fair will not be the first time they have attempted to scale-up their work, ensuring the best outcome for the artist and the Fair.
