The countdown to SHINE Mural Festival begins. From October 5-14 our already vibrant city will further transform into an open-air, 24/7 art gallery. Before the festivities begin, SHINE has a few more muralist slots to fill.
On August 8, event organizers released an official call for local artist submissions. This is a chance for one Burg painter or a full art team to showcase their talents on a grand scale.

Submissions judged on visual impact, experience and execution
Submissions will be judged by the caliber of the work presented and its effective execution, the artist’s experience working within the program guidelines, visual impact on pedestrian traffic and appropriateness of content. In addition to supplying the sketch or rendering of mural submission, artists/art teams are asked to supply 3 samples of previous work.
The project wall is located downtown, though a specific address is not listed, and measures 19 ft wide and 12 ft tall.
