The ELAH Mural Project is a project where East Lubbock Art House selects up to 10 artists to each individually create a 4 foot by 6 foot mural (vertically high wall) on wheels. Each artist selected will be given $275 after the completion of the ELAH Mural Project Program!

Through this program, artists will be asked to create their mural in an indoor group setting August 2nd – August 6th (5 days). There is no theme for the murals selected and artists are open to creating whatever artwork they feel most comfortable with completing. Assistance will be available for mural completion. All supplies will be provided. NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED FOR PARTICIPATION!

Location: artists applying must be attending Rise Academy Charter School, Dunbar Middle School, Estacado Early College/High School, O. L. Slaton, Triumph Public School, Priority Intervention Academy, or Talkington School for Young Women Leaders

Selection Process: We will be selecting artists based on completion of the application below, meeting the location requirements and age requirements, feasibility of the mural (can this be completed?), artistic merit (how do we feel about this art?), and originality (how original is this artwork?). Artists selected will be notified no later than the first week in June of the acceptance or rejection of their artwork.

This program is sponsored by the Tearfund for Racial Justice.

There is no fee to apply and lunch, dinner, and snacks will be provided.
