Call To All Artists Interested In A Mural And Market Project
We are installing a wall of 4’ x 8’ art panels, created by Portland artists, around the outside of the Boise-Eliot Outdoor Markets. Once all the panels are painted and installed, our “Magic Box” will be in place, and then we auction off the panels. Half the proceeds from the auction price go to the artist, and half go to the market, with the Market investing half its share to a mural project we’re launching in the neighborhood.
The building we’ve chosen for the mural project is the City Maintenance building (located near Fremont and Mississippi Avenue) that has been tagged repeatedly with graffiti. The City has covered the building with layers of different colored paint creating what we think of as their own form of graffiti.Are You An Artist?
We still have panels available for YOUR work! Send an e-mail to boiseeliotmarkets@gmail.com and ask for details!
With the City’s approval, and the help of Portland artists, we plan to create a mural on this building, bringing attention to Portland artists and becoming a gateway project into the Mississippi business district.
If you are interested in participating in any part of this process, please get in touch with Spencer at boiseeliotmarkets@gmail.com.
