This August, ArtSEA kicks off in conjunction with Seattle Art Fair. A 10-day art festival, ArtSEA is looking for Seattle walls – why walls? During the event, artists will paint murals around Seattle, and they need a working space for their artwork.
There are just a few requirements for artSea’s mural project: the wall must be privately owned by either homeowners or businesses, but viewable by the public. Examples would be a retaining wall, a building wall (think MudBay Uptown or the Henry murals on Nickerson & Florentia pictured below) or a garage wall that sees foot or street traffic. The more eyes that can view the mural, the better.
The mural will be a permanent installation, so property owners would need to be comfortable with having the art on display on a long-term basis. There is no cost for the murals, and no size requirements for the walls.
If you have a great wall aching for art, contact ArtSEA via email at info@theworldisfun.org. And, if your wall is selected, be sure to let us know!
