Call to Artists: 2020 WMASS Community Mural Institute
THE COMMUNITY MURAL INSTITUTE
https://www.commonwealthmurals.org/community-mural-institute-details
The Community Mural Institute combines classroom instruction and experiential learning so that by the end of the Institute, artists can independently create and install exceptional community-engaged murals. The Institute teaches how to structure and facilitate community design and painting workshops, best practices for mural design, and how to create murals using the parachute cloth technique. 6 artists will be selected to participate in the Institute.
The Institute meets on three weekends over three months. Each artist will design, paint and install a 150 square foot community engaged mural over the course of the Institute. For this Institute, artists will be partnered with a pre-selected group of senior citizens. Artists must, without exception, be available to participate in all of the scheduled sessions.
Artists will be paid a stipend of $2,000 for their participation and all paint and materials will be provided.
