Sundance Square and Artspace 111 have created an artists’ challenge for all Texas-based artists and artist teams. The Temporal Integral Mural Exhibition (TIME) is an initiative that will allow 12 chosen artists to design murals that will connect into one giant piece of art. These artists or artist teams will be chosen for the opportunity to help create a mural that will cover two warehouses spanning three blocks in Sundance Square, downtown Fort Worth’s Sundance Square.

“45 years ago, Sundance Square was conceived as a heart transplant to bring life back to downtown Fort Worth, a project infused with great respect and love for architecture, art, music and entrepreneurship,” said Ed Bass, chairman of Sundance Square.

The TIME project will be constantly evolving, and murals may be partially or completely painted over at some point in the future. The works will each be visible for at least six months. Each selected artist will have one month to complete the mural and each selected artist will receive $2,000.

“This project is a continuation of our commitment to make downtown a welcoming and vibrant place for families, for artists, for musicians, for ideas and for beauty,” said Sasha Bass, CEO of Sundance Square. “I am most excited about this mural collaboration because it will grant Texas artists the freedom to create something together. It will be beautiful; it will be relevant.”

The call for artists is an ongoing project and artists may apply at any time. Artists who apply by October 15, 2021 will be considered for the first six murals. The second-round deadline will be announced in the future, but artists can continue to apply.
