FREE ENTRY / Mural Arts Philadelphia - Request for Muralist Painter’s Wall

Mural Arts Philadelphia is seeking an artist to create a temporary mural, which will be displayed for one year at the Kensington Painter’s Wall inside of Prevention Point’s Love Lot. 

The Love Lot is a multi-use outdoor space operated by Prevention Point, where many kinds of harm reduction services are administered including food, clothing, medical aid, syringe services, art workshops, community events, and drug treatment. In 2023, Mural Arts worked with artist Jacob C. Hammes to design and fabricate art and infrastructure for the Love Lot as a useful, beautiful, and welcoming place for healing.  As part of the project, Hammes incorporated a section of the space called The Kensington Painter’s Wall, an annually-rotating mural wall dedicated to promoting the creativity of artists connected to this community.  

We are looking for our third artist for this project to create a painting or 2D work that focuses on harm reduction and positive messaging…
