Portland is planning to add another mural to its buildings.

The city, in collaboration with Arts Place and Portland Main Street Connect, recently announced a call for artists through the Indiana Destination Development Corporation’s Indiana Public Art Mural grant, which supports artists painting original murals in a community.

Plans are to create a mural on the north wall of Community Resource Center, 118 S. Meridian St., Portland, making it visible while driving south on U.S. 27 (Meridian Street). It’s located along what is known as Brick Alley and will be part of the future Cultural Heritage Trail, according to a press release from Arts Place.

Per local zoning ordinance, the mural must be historically relevant to the community. It must be approved by Jay/Portland Building and Planning Department and Portland Historic Preservation Commission.

The project is contingent on the City of Portland being awarded the grant.

Applications may be sent to [email protected] no later than 5 p.m. Tuesday. An artist will be selected no later than March 17.
