The Children’s Museum of Acadiana, The Acadiana Center for the Arts, Downtown Lafayette Unlimited and the Pinhook Foundation are excited to announce a request for qualifications (RFQ) from artists and/or teams of artists to submit interest for a large scale mural on the South-facing wall of the Children’s Museum building in Downtown Lafayette.
Applications are open until July 31, 2025.
This prominent mural site offers approximately 5,040 square feet of surface area, spanning a 144-foot-wide by 35-foot-high brick façade. Southwest-facing, the wall is located in the heart of downtown Lafayette, directly adjacent to a popular playground and situated within one of the city’s most highly activated public spaces.
The mural will be a central backdrop for many of Lafayette’s major festivals and community events, making it an ideal location for a high-impact public artwork. From live performances to cultural celebrations, this wall will be featured in countless photos, videos, and everyday experiences.
