Lucas Museum of Narrative Art and LA Commons Partner for a Community Mural Project
LA Commons is partnering with the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art to commission a temporary community mural to be installed on fencing at the Lucas Museum construction site in EXPO Park. LA Commons and the Lucas Museum invite you to apply to collaborate and guide participating youth in the creation of original artwork for a community mural project.
LA Commons develops artistic and cultural projects that reveal the unique stories of L.A.’s Neighborhoods and engage visitors through cultural tours. Based in EXPO Park, the Lucas Museum is a non-profit museum committed to exploring and celebrating the power and significance of visual storytelling. The museum will feature an unprecedented range of visual art forms, including paintings, illustrations, comic art, digital art, photography, and murals, along with an in-depth exploration of the art of filmmaking.
The project will begin in mid-March and conclude in late May 2019, artists will direct a team of youth (ages 15-25 years) to design and create original artwork for a temporary community mural. LA Commons will digitally scale this artwork, which will be displayed on the Lucas Museum construction fencing located along Bill Robertson Boulevard.
