Artist Call Out!
Community Garden Mural
Deadline for Submissions: Monday, 5 August
An opportunity for a local artist to leave their mark on the community! Our friends and neighbours in Ignition Brewery and Taproom are inviting creative minds to submit proposals for a mural that will brighten up the new beer garden. This is your chance to showcase your talent, add a splash of colour, and make a lasting impact on our space
LOVE SYDENHAM
The design brief is open- it can be pictorial, text, a mixture of both, full colour, monochrome, but the theme is ‘Love Sydenham’. We welcome creative interpretations celebrating the energy, vibrancy, and spirit of the Sydenham Community.
Location: The mural will be painted on an exterior white brick wall, 310cm (w) x 280cm (l) – 8.68m2.
Eligibility: The call-out is open to artists of all levels, including professionals, emerging artists, and art students. We envisage that some experience with outdoor murals and artworks would be advantageous. The artist must be able to complete the mural installation between Friday, 9, and Wednesday, 21 August 2024.

We may be able to provide additional support or mentoring for specific needs related to the project. Please contact us if you would like to discuss any aspects of the project.
