The Northport Arts Association invites artists and designers to submit original mural concepts for five tile installations, each to be prominently displayed in public buildings throughout the Village of Northport.

Submissions must be received by October 30. Submit designs to: Northport Arts Association, PO Box 262, Northport, MI 49670.

Suggested Themes are: The Marina, Christmas Cove, Peterson Park, the Grand Traverse Lighthouse, Woolsey Airport, Northport Village Scenes, or Leelanau Township’s scenic landscapes (such as cherry orchards, farms, woodlands, and trillium).

Mural Dimensions should be approximately 130 glazed tiles, arranged to measure either 5 ft wide × 3 ft tall or 3 ft wide × 5 ft tall (horizontal or vertical orientation).

Mural installation socations include: Leelanau Township Office Entrance; Leelanau Township Library; Village of Northport Meeting Room; Northport Public School, and Northport Creek Golf Course

Supported by a $10,000 SEED Grant from Traverse City Rotary Charities, this project aims to enrich public spaces, engage participants of all ages, and foster creative outreach in under-resourced areas. The grant also builds momentum for expanding the NAA’s Clay Studio and broader programs.
