public art opportunity: pirate ship mural
Pirate Ship is seeking proposals for a large-scale mural that captures the essence of Jackson Hole with a pirate twist. Pirate Ship is a pirate themed shipping company dedicated to helping small businesses with discounted shipping rates and free software. Pirate Ship’s offices are designed with rich wood textures, nautical details, and immersive custom elements, the space features a real tiki bar, portholes, a secret library, and more, making you feel fully transported aboard a Pirate Ship. Pirate Ship is looking for a mural of a pirate ship on Jackson Lake with the Tetons in the background.
Location Description
The mural will be located on the East facing outside wall of Teton Mountaineering, directly across from the Pirate Ship offices. The site is highly visible and intended to become a recognizable artwork that reflects both the company’s brand and the local landscape.
Media/ Style/ Size
The mural wall is approximately 30x80 ft. Note: the Teton Mountaineering building is clad in wood panels that will be power washed and primed with a base coat in a color specified by the artist before the artist begins installation. We encourage artists to be creative in the usage of the space to activate the wall in an engaging way. The primary focus is on the portion of the wall seen from the Pirate Ship offices. Artists will also be required to submit a high resolution file of the mural design that will be used for printing the utility box wraps. The artist should use high-quality, professional-grade materials for painting the mural.
