Description
McKinney National Airport (TKI) is seeking concept proposals from Texas-based artists to create two murals at the new commercial terminal building. We are looking for artwork to be displayed on the interior baggage claim wall, as well as exterior screening wall.
A committee comprised of members of the McKinney Arts Commission and McKinney National Airport will select 10 finalists for an opportunity to refine their concepts based on committee feedback.
Artists can submit up to two concepts. The theme of the Airport design is “Heritage Modern”: design blending traditional, historical charm with clean, contemporary simplicity. Our request requires artwork that highlights the McKinney area for visitors.
Budget: $60,000
• Includes labor and materials for both proposed murals
*McKinney National Airport staff will prime and prepare walls for painting.
• Top 10 finalist will receive a $500 stipend to create a maquette based on the subcommittee recommendations.
