CALLING MURAL ARTISTS TO TAKE PART IN A NEW EXCITING PUBLIC ART PROJECT ‘ART IN THE ARCHES’ sponsored by Jersey Water
ArtHouse Jersey has announced a call-out to mural artists to take part in an exciting new public art project.
Art in the Arches, sponsored by Jersey Water, will see the design and production of six unique murals spread across numerous arches at Elizabeth Marina, all speaking to the theme Water, water, everywhere.
Five to six artists will be selected and they will have three arches each for their mural, creating a beautiful display of thought-provoking public art for Islanders to enjoy for years to come.
The project has been made possible thanks to the sponsorship of Jersey Water, alongside support from the Jersey Community Foundation with funds from the Channel Islands Lottery and will be delivered in partnership with Art in the Frame Foundation (The Harbour Gallery Jersey) and Ports of Jersey. This Open Call is open to artists living in Jersey, the Channel Islands, the UK and France.
ArtHouse Jersey is calling for artists to join the project, hosting a number of workshops with local community groups hosted at The Harbour Gallery Jersey in May and June in the lead up to delivering their final murals in the warmer, drier summer months. Both the workshops and the final artworks will centre around the theme of our relationship with water, exploring its evolution from past, present to future.
Artists who are interested in taking part can visit the ArtHouse Jersey website’s Opportunities section to learn about what’s involved and how to apply. Artists are asked to submit an expression of interest to amy@arts.je no later than 23.59, Monday 6 May 2024.
