Mural Painting Project is a collaborative project between an established local muralist and Visual Art Students from New World School of Arts (NWSA), Florida's premier center of excellence in the visual and performing arts. The nature of public art is often site-specific, created in response to the place and community in which it resides. To this end, and through this process, we explore the collaboration between established and emerging artists, working side by side to highlight the positive impact public art can have on a community. Additionally, we contribute to the process of visually injecting the spaces of the Koubek Center with artwork created by local artists.
The local Muralist will be selected by the Koubek Center Mural Committee, a group of Koubek staff, advisory board members, and previous mural artists. The artist selected will be paid an honorarium to develop the concept of the Mural with input from NWSA students, as well as to work alongside the students to create the Mural. The final artwork will be part of an ongoing rotation of works for one or two years, with additional artworks selected for future installation.
The artwork submission portal will remain open throughout the Koubek Center Mural Painting Project timeline for applicants to submit. During the current Call for Submissions the Project Committee reserves the option to make no selections from the submission pool and to then reopen or reissue the Call for Submissions.
