Edible Schoolyard Muralist (Contract Work)
The Miriam P. Brenner Children’s Museum is seeking an experienced muralist to help us transform an overlooked nook of downtown Greensboro into a public work of art and education! With the help of our friends at Piedmont Natural Gas Foundation and the Downtown Resident’s Association, we are tackling a street-facing, retaining wall at the corner on East Lindsay Street from North Church Street to Isley Street.
This space provides an opportunity to both add a pollinator pathway within the planting space between the wall and The Edible Schoolyard as well as transform the cement retaining wall into a piece of local art that will connect both bees, butterflies, and people from the parks and attractions downtown to the parks, farmers market, and attractions in East Greensboro.
For more information about this project, please read the attached job description. Submit questions and proposals by May 12 to: Emma McHone, [email protected].
