ARTIST SELECTION CRITERIA

Overall professionalism and presentation of ideas
Appropriateness of artwork to the community, taking into consideration Malden’s history and diversity
Experience and potential to successfully complete the project within the required time

SELECTION PROCESS

Submissions will be reviewed by the Malden Arts Artist Review Committee which consists of Malden Arts board members, Malden residents and business owners, and public art enthusiasts. The group will review each artist's (or group’s) application and work samples. Once the artist(s) are selected, they will be notified via phone or email.

Special consideration will be given to designs that feature Malden-born artists: Norman Greenbaum’s song Spirit in the Sky, Earle Stanley Gardner’s Perry Mason stories, William Moulton Marston’s Wonder Woman.
