Garden Mural Project
11am – 6pm Saturday, July 16th and Saturday, July 23rd, 2011
Avondale Garden, 290-294 Avondale Ave, Columbus, OH 43222
The Garden Mural Project is a first time collaboration between the Franklinton Gardens and the Franklinton Arts District (FAD). We are looking for individual artists, or a team of artists, to design and paint a mural over the course of two Saturdays in July. This is a free community event in which neighborhood residents will be able to watch the artists at work, listen to live music from local musicians, eat free samples of healthy foods, and receive information on community gardening and local arts programs.
We are seeking community-themed murals that promote the vision of a just and peaceable Franklinton – one complete with safe streets, fair housing, equality, health food access, alternative transportation, environmental sustainability, etc.
The Franklinton Arts District will be selecting a total of ten 4’ x 8’ panels for this event.
Artists, or artist groups, may propose a 1, 2, or 3-panel mural. Each panel is 4’ x 8’ and needs to be displayed horizontally. Paint, brushes, and supplies will be provided. All participating artists must be able to commit to painting during the 11-am – 6pm duration on both Saturdays.
Artists will be compensated with food, drinks, goodies, and cash prizes.
