COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT
CALL TO ARTIST
Looking for a UW-Parkside student or alumnus to design and paint a mural that will become an integral part of our physical space within the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.
This mural should represent your power and voice to capture the themes of social justice, civic engagement, and more than anything tell a story. The mural should evoke dialogue and speak on the power of the people for social change.
We hope this mural can captivate the importance of community empowerment and for Parkside to showcase the artist that can awaken the voice of the people and exemplify the importance of these themes, which are crucial to the existence and constructive development of students and society.
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic CSSPS will postpone our mural call to artist until further notice.
