Well, there's a total of $14,000 in funding that will go toward the selected artists, $9,000 for the 12th Avenue Bridge mural and $5,000 for the 8th Avenue Bridge piece. The 8th Avenue mural is slightly smaller, and will be temporary as the bridge will be replaced as part of the Flood Control System in a few years, hence the smaller payout. Selected artists will get half of the money up front and the other half upon completion of the mural.
