Can'd Aid Foundation Austin Mural Contest
September 21, 2018 - Deadline for submissions.
Calling all high schoolers! The Can'd Aid Foundation and Raasin in the Sun have teamed up to present a one-of-a-kind opportunity to feature one student’s work of art on an 8x12 ft. mural on Chicon Street. One winning artist will secure a hands-on art internship with famed local artist Janis Fowler. She will mentor the student on how to adapt and scale the work of art into a mural. Painting of the mural will take place this fall. This mural contest was conceived in collaboration by both organizations as a way to engage youth and beautify Austin. “Youth are often dismissed and not trusted to participate as active members in their communities." All high school students currently enrolled in grades 9-12th are invited to submit artwork that embodies the themes of sustainability, community, joy, modernity, equality, kindness. • Artwork must be 8x12in. (or proportionate to that) • Artwork may use any medium desired (paint, drawing, graphic design, etc.) Submissions are being accepted online at www.candaid.org/atxmural until Friday September 21, 2018 at 11:59 p.m. CST For official rules and more information, please click on the button below. |
