As the look of 118th Avenue evolves from the new sidewalks and streetlights to the new facades of businesses, The Avenue Initiative is adding another exciting element to the landscape – murals on electrical boxes.  And WE NEED YOU!

We are looking for professional artists willing to volunteer in mentoring young emerging artists by painting the electrical boxes along with Ave with a mural. Young artists will be selected in July and matched with an appropriate professional artist.  An electrical box will be assigned to each pair and you will have the opportunity to work with the young artist in the design.

The only requirements are:
You have a desire to collaborate with and mentor a young emerging artist.
You live between 75th Street & 104th Street and between 111th Avenue & the Yellowhead.
You are a professional artist.
You are ready to have some fun!

Painting will take place over 1-2 days in August and the murals will be revealed at the Kaleido Festival in September.

This is YOUR COMMUNITY – be a part of the revitalization process and leave your mark on the Avenue!

Please contact Jaimie at 780.721.8417 or tjclem@telus.net for more information or to get involved.
