Apply to be a CMI Artist
The Community Mural Institute is right for artists who:
are interested in painting murals which require very long hours, taxing physical work, and working outside and in view of the public
are able and committed to creating designs and completing artwork on a structured, sometimes short timeline
are comfortable opening your artistic process to community input and critique
are comfortable talking, working with, and guiding groups of people you don’t know
have an interest in creating narrative or figurative murals
after completing the CMI, are committed to independently pursuing opportunities to create more community-engaged murals
“The CMI pushed me into the next level of my career. I learned best practices in both the technique and business side of public art. I am now ready to go compete for bigger and better projects. I wish I had found them years ago. They filled in so many blanks I had struggled with in my career.”
