The Albuquerque Public Art Program and Bird Alliance of Central New Mexico, a chapter of the National Audubon Society, seeks to commission public murals at Albuquerque BioPark's Raptor Center, in an initiative that draws attention to climate change.

The Audubon Mural Project began in 2014, when the National Audubon Society commissioned artists to paint murals of threatened species on walls, doors and other surfaces. Now, chapters of the Society are carrying the project across the country.

Mural proposals should feature birds from the region whose lives are threatened by the impact of climate change, insects and native plants that are consumed by selected birds, and the phrase "Birds Are Vanishing Protect Wildlife Habitat." There is no requirement that the birds be completely realistic, but they must be clearly identifiable as members of their species.

$20,000 is available to commission three murals. Legal residents of New Mexico are eligible to submit.

Deadline: September 30, 2024 at 3:59 p.m.
