To celebrate its second year in downtown Phoenix, the Urban Grocery & Wine Bar is looking for a little color.

The market is currently looking for mural concepts that "capture the essence of the Downtown Phoenix community and our mission of making good food accessible to all." According to the official announcement, the design should include the tractor from the market logo and an arrow pointing toward the main entrance on Pierce Street.

Designs will be accepted through October 20 and voted on via the Downtown Market Facebook page starting on October 10.

Submissions, including a photo/sample piece, a two to three sentence bio, can be sent to Natalie Morris ([email protected]). Three finalists will be the Market's Facebook audience and one artist will be chosen by the market selection committee.

For additional information, rules, and requirements, check out the Public Market website.
