Call for Mural Painting Proposals
Santropol Roulant is seeking proposals from artists who would like to paint the outside of our building to
illustrate the work that we do.
Deadline for proposals: June 1st
Send proposals to: [email protected]
Santropol Roulant uses food as a vehicle to break social isolation between generations. Creatively and
collaboratively, we strengthen and nourish our local community with our novel approaches to active community
engagement, youth leadership, food security and social inclusion.
Applications will be selected based on three elements:
 Artistic merit
 Artist's experience painting similar scale projects
 Expression of Santropol Roulant's mission (intergenerational community building, food security,
youth engagement, social inclusion – see our Mission Statement), values (people as gifts, collaborative
leadership, coherence – see our Core Principles of Engagement) and activities (growing, cooking and
distributing fresh food, beekeeping, urban fruit harvesting, vermicomposting, fixing bicycles,
cultivating mushrooms)
Application process
- 3 - 5 applications will be selected on these criteria by the Mural Selection Committee
- These applications will be presented to the Santropol Roulant community and neighbours, and voted on to
select the successful proposal.
Please submit
- A sketch of the painting you propose to paint on the building
- Estimation of costs for materials

your website or other portfolio.
