Monument Health seeks artist for breast cancer mural

RAPID CITY, S.D. (Aug. 6, 2020) – Monument Health is looking for an artist who wants to raise breast cancer awareness by painting an Art Alley mural in downtown Rapid City. The health care system is giving a $500 grand prize to the artist with the best proposal. The winning artist will then have 30 days to create the mural.

The contest, in its third year, is open to visual artists who work with aerosol, airbrush, brush or other media. The site in Art Alley has been selected. The mural should help Monument Health promote yearly mammograms and offer hope and strength for patients and survivors.

To enter, please submit your mural design idea along with examples of your work by Aug. 28. The top designs will be posted on Facebook, and the entry with the most likes by Sept. 4 will be chosen for the project. The mural must be completed by Friday, Oct. 2, the start of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
