Call for Artists: New Mural Project in Downtown Fort Pierce

FORT PIERCE, FL – The Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency (FPRA) is excited to announce a Call for Artists for a new mural in downtown Fort Pierce. Local artists are encouraged to submit mural proposals for the back exterior wall of the historic Sunrise Theatre, a cherished landmark in the City of Fort Pierce.

Highly visible from US1, the selected mural will become a striking visual feature that enhances the Theatre and contributes to the energy and charm of downtown Fort Pierce. The FPRA is seeking a design that is bold, beautiful, and timeless—one that celebrates the spirit of the Sunrise Theatre.

For decades, the Sunrise Theatre has served as a hub for live music, comedy, community theatre, educational camps, and special events. This project presents a unique opportunity for local artists to contribute to the city’s creative landscape and be part of Fort Pierce’s rich art history.

Artists must submit their proposals by Friday, May 16, 2025.

Complete project details and submission instructions can be found here: FPRA Mural Program | Fort Pierce, FL - Official Website
