Please help spread the word about our call to artists for the mural project at our arts and culture community hub - Evergreen Community SPACES www.ecspaces.com About the project: Beauty in the Brick is a mural project to be installed on the outside of the Evergreen Theatre and Community SPACES building located in Mayland heights. Looking to spark whimsy and joy in the community. The project's goal is to meld the natural world and the creative worlds. Showcasing how art and buildings can bring community together, not just what is inside a space, but also how the exterior can connect and inspire community. Beauty in the Brick will utilize an installation process that allows art to be digitized and installed. We hope that this will open the scope of mural creation to a wider range of artists. Selected artists will take part in a community walk to be inspired by the natural elements of Mayland Heights in order to inform their work. Eligibility: Eligibility is open to all artists.
