OPEN CALL FOR MURALIST
THE WALL
Patchogue Arts Council, in collaboration with the Patchogue- Medford Library, is pleased to announce it is accepting submissions from muralists to exhibit a temporary mural on the rear of the Patchogue-Medford Library. The mural will be inspired by this year’s festival season theme Coming of Age 2021. We come of age through various rites of passage, and our new selves enter a new time, and occupy a new space. 2021 festival programming scheduled will explore significant personal transitions, and the new ‘ages’ we find ourselves living in. The mural will be located in a highly visible location on the rear of the Patchogue- Medford Library and will serve as the backdrop to many community activities throughout 2021. Prior experience creating a mural is required.
A stipend of $1,500 will be awarded to assist in the planning, design, and execution of the mural. The mural should be inspired by the spirit of the theme Coming of Age 2021 .
