SHINE Mural project for Newton middle and high school artists
Newton Community Events & Programs (formerly Newton Cultural Development) is once again offering student artists a chance to “shine” through our SHINE mural project. The full details are on our website here, and here are the important bullet points:
– Artists paint a 6’x3′ plywood panel that is later placed at a highly visible outdoor location in Newton
– They are professional public artists on this project, earning a stipend of $200 (to include their purchase of paint supplies)
– The murals must represent their interpretation of the theme: America at 250
– The link to apply is here and the deadline to apply is this Friday, February 27 (samples needed by the following Friday)
The students who have participated in this project the last three years have offered very different perspectives on our SHINE theme, all of them well thought out and wonderfully executed. The students gain great experience planning and implementing a public art project and working on schedule.
