New Mural Club for Youth meets Saturday in Tucson Arts District

 





































Mural Club Starts Saturday January 24

There is a new opportunity for youth in Tucson, the Mural Club now meets every Saturday from 3-6pm January 24 - May 16 to design and paint public murals. Youth ages 8-18 can now register for the program which gathers at the Citizens Artist Collective, Studio 13, 44 W 6th Street in downtown Tucson, Arizona every Saturday from 3pm-6pm.

Get your paint clothing on, young artists are painting up the town. This spring includes projects in Ajo, AZ, neighborhood and social change murals. Get involved with the growing international wall art movement. Raise your voice, raise your paintbrush!

Youth have the opportunity to assist master artists on projects, help out on neighborhood beautification efforts, enjoy field trips and help create a wave of change. Each week we work in the studio, and then move out into the field to work on projects.

This is a project of the Tucson Mural Arts Program, administer by the Tucson Arts Brigade. Support is made possible in part by the Tucson Pima Arts Council PLACE initiative, the Bank of America, Tucson Realtors Charitable Foundation and generous individual donations.

The Mural Club provides an out-of-school-time outlet for youth ages 8 - 18, and young adults to engage in the arts, workforce and economic development, while employing arts-based solutions to address community issues such as crime, drug use, health, and neighborhood revitalization.

There is a suggested $20. material fee per session.
