Call for Artists: Art@Work looking for Teaching Artists and Mural Artist Interns

by

Produced by the Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts in partnership with Jubilee Arts and 901 Arts, Art @ Work expanded for 2017 into two new neighborhoods: Reservoir Hill and Waverly. For five weeks, approximately 80 young people between the ages of 14-21 were hired to work under the direction of professional artists to create highly visible murals throughout the neighborhoods. In addition to creating the murals, Art @ Work participants attend professional development and skill-building workshops led by various local organizations. The goal of Art @ Work is to introduce youth to career opportunities in the arts, offer gainful employment in a positive learning environment and to provide youth with the tools to express themselves through the arts, all while beautifying their community. Since its launch in 2015, Art @ Work has produced 19 indoor and outdoor public art projects in the Sandtown and Upton communities, employing more than 150 Baltimore City youth.
