Tom Miller Mural Restoration Project
BOPA is seeking proposals from professional artists, art service providers and art conservators experienced in creating and restoring murals for the restoration of two murals by the late artist Tom Miller. Located on the northeast façade and interior stairwell of the Cherry Hill Shopping Center at 600 Cherry Hill Road, the murals were originally created by Baltimore native Tom Miller (1945-2000) in 1987. The artist became renowned for his unique “Afro-Deco” style, used in his work to fight racial stereotypes of African-American communities in Baltimore. The murals are currently in poor condition due to the effects of age, environmental wear and vandalism. To download the RFP, click HERE. The deadline for proposals is Friday, May 27, 2016.
