Pirate Ship is seeking proposals for a large-scale mural that captures the essence of Jackson Hole with a pirate twist. Pirate Ship is a pirate themed shipping company dedicated to helping small businesses with discounted shipping rates and free software. Pirate Ship’s offices are designed with rich wood textures, nautical details, and immersive custom elements, the space features a real tiki bar, portholes, a secret library, and more, making you feel fully transported aboard a Pirate Ship. The selected artwork will creatively merge pirate lore and maritime symbolism with the distinct character of Jackson Hole living and the iconic Teton Range. Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly and creatively.

Media/ Style/ Size
The approx 30x80 ft. mural will be painted on the outside of the Teton Mountaineering building onto wood panels that will be power washed and primed with a basecoat in a color specified by the artist before the artist begins installation. We encourage artists to be creative in the usage of the space to activate the wall in an engaging way. The primary focus is on the portion of the wall seen from the Pirate Ship offices. Artists will also be required to submit a high resolution file of the mural design that will be used for printing the utility box wraps. The artist should use high-quality, professional-grade materials for painting the mural. The surface of the building is wood paneling.
