Bolin Creek Riser Murals 2026
We’re looking for two Triangle-based artists or artist teams to each paint a mural on one of two risers near the Bolinwood Drive intersection with the Bolin Creek Trail Greenway in Chapel Hill. These cylindrical cement risers are approximately five feet in diameter and seven feet tall. We will assign each of the two selected artists/teams to one riser to prime and paint for a total project stipend of $1,000 per artist.
Murals should allow the risers to better harmonize with the environment. They should delight and inform neighbors, commuters, and other trail users who travel the Bolin Creek Trail. See our past riser murals.
Project Commission Budget. $1,000/artist or team
Finalist Proposal Stipends. $100/artist or team
Deadline. 5pm on Tuesday, July 14, 2026
