Mural Workshop this June


Kansas Mural Workshop

 
What
A week-long intensive workshop (sponsored by the Hutchinson/Reno 
Arts and Humanities Council, Hutchinson Art Center, and The Downtown 
Hutchinson Revitalization Partnership), with internationally recognized 
muralist Dave Loewenstein, that will lead participants through all of the 
technical and organizing skills needed to develop a successful mural 
project. 
 
Over the course of the week, participants will learn:                                                     
- History of the community mural movement
- Contemporary trends in community engaged public art

- How to organize, fund, and promote a community-mural project
- How to work with city representatives and develop contracts
- The basics of team organizing, research and design
- How to transfer your design, prepare the wall and plan community painting
- The importance of a culminating event and mural maintenance


All of this will be taught through an actual mural project, for a downtown Hutchinson location that participants will work on over the course of the week.
