Calling All Keys Artists
The City of Marathon has been awarded a grant from the National Fitness Campaign for a Fitness Court to be installed at Marathon Community Park. We have the option of having a local artist create art for the back wall of the court and are excited to present this opportunity to our artist community. We would like to open this to any artist in the Keys that is interested in submitting a rendering for voting. After judging, the top (3) designs will be presented to City Council at October’s Council Meeting.
The link to NFC’s website is provided so you can see what the Fitness Court and back wall look like. https://nationalfitnesscampaign.com/watch
Requirements for art submissions are a high-quality image for the NFC design team. The wall itself is 38’ x 7’ and the design will be powder coated onto the structure. Submissions are due by Monday, September 20th at noon and can be emailed to Maria Covelli at covellim@ci.marathon.fl.us
