PEG Companies, City of St. George Seek Artist to Paint Large Downtown Mural

ST. GEORGE, Utah – In a collaborative public/private partnership to enhance and beautify the city, PEG Companies [“PEG”], the developer, owner, and operator of The Advenire hotel and City View St. George Apartments, along with the City of St. George are seeking talented artists interested in creating a large mural in the heart of the Historic Downtown district.

Located at approximately 100 W St. George Boulevard on the West facade of the shared parking garage between The Advenire hotel and City View St. George Apartments, the future mural will span 165’W x 35’H and will become a significant long-term focal point of the community in a highly visible area of town.

“Art connects community members and adds to the human experience, enhancing our quality of life,” said Mayor Michele Randall. “With each new mural, the Arts District in downtown St. George becomes more vibrant and welcoming due to the work of passionate artists.”

To find the right artist, PEG and the City of St. George have issued a request for proposal [RFP] and set an application deadline of February 29, 2024. Proposals will be reviewed in depth as project leaders narrow them down to a shortlist of finalists. Artists might then be contacted and interviewed about their ideas, creative processes, proposed execution timelines, weatherproofing techniques, and more before stakeholders will ultimately select someone to complete the mural.

PEG and the City of St. George encourage creative ideas and outside-the-box thinking that reflect the community’s rich history, unique culture, and/or its vibrant future. Applicants should keep in mind the unique location of the mural and remember that it will be viewed from both close-up and far-away distances.

“In just four years in business, The Advenire has quickly become the most desirable destination hotel in the area,” said Cameron Gunter, Founder/CEO, PEG Companies. “The uniquely authentic experience The Advenire offers along with the beautiful adjacent City View St. George Apartments represent the essence of Southern Utah at its finest. Now, we’re seeking a strong exterior mural that can further elevate the neighborhood.”

Design elements of the 50,000 square foot, 60-room luxury boutique hotel include historic windows, sediments native to Southern Utah, tapestries resembling handmade rag rugs used by early settlers, and other ‘pioneer chic’ touches that cultivate an authentic experience.
