The Sunniside Project

Free to Apply

Commission for experienced mural artists/sign writers to design and paint a contemporary exterior mural (approx 6m x 9m) on 170 High Street West in Sunniside, Sunderland. The mural should connect past and present, celebrate local businesses and creative community, and work within the Sunniside way finding project to define the neighbourhood’s identity.

Artists must be confident working at large scale and height, hold IPAF training (if using MEWP access) and Public Liability Insurance. The mural should complement existing local murals, work with the Sunniside colour palette, be low maintenance, and be considerate of the conservation area/listed building context.

Total budget £5,000 covers artist design time, painting, and materials. Installation required before end of March 2026. Proposals should include concept design, sketches/examples, previous similar work, and installation timeline with materials costs.
