The City of Shreveport will repair three Water Towers in the next few years. The repair provides an opportunity to redesign the exterior design on the Water Towers. Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux invited all Artists connected to Shreveport to submit proposal concepts for each of the three different Water Towers. The selected proposal will then be professionally designed and painted (by an outside firm) on the Water Tower. The design must be one that can be painted on the WATER TOWER(S) – there is no other medium for the design. (No use of vinyl, lights, sculptural additions, etc.)
