One of the artists who submitted ideas for the proposed End Racism Now mural in Pullman expressed frustration with the city government after it decided to restart the mural selection
The Pullman City Council voted 5 to 2 to approve restarting the submission process for the “End Racism Now” mural with clearer requirements for artists.
Joanna Bailey, Pullman Arts Commission chair, said the group put out a call for mural designs on Nov. 18.
Three artists submitted seven entries. However, two were withdrawn from one of the artists, she said.
On Feb. 9, commissioners met to review submissions, Bailey said. Their recommendation for the council included extending the call period for one month while also recommending submission five.
She said submission five has a rainbow background with the phrases “End Racism Now” and “Black Lives Matter.”
