The Pennyroyal Arts Council is seeking proposals from artists to lead a youth art camp Oct. 6 to 10 that will result in a downtown mural measuring 19 by 12 feet. The mural design will connect to Hopkinsville’s history.
“Artists are encouraged to propose designs that are historical, interactive, and reflective of Hopkinsville’s unique heritage and character,” a spokeswoman said in a press release. “The mural should provide opportunities for community interaction, such as photo-friendly elements or creative perspectives.”
The artist chosen for the project will guide 10 students during the camp sessions, 9 a.m. to noon, for five days.

- A brief statement about how the design connects to Hopkinsville’s history and community.
- The artist’s required fee for participation and leadership of the camp.
- A required supply list for the camp.
- Portfolio examples of previous mural or large-scale artwork projects (if available).
Proposals are due by Sept. 9 by email to Kelly Selfe, arts education coordinator — kelly.selfe@pennyroyalarts.org, 270-887-4295.
