Lynnwood seeks muralists for Community Justice Center art project

The City of Lynnwood is on the lookout for up to four artists to design and paint murals for the Community Justice Center. As stated in the city’s press release, the artwork should “speak to the soul” and thoughtfully incorporate colors that are appropriate for a jail environment. This initiative particularly encourages artists who have experienced the justice system or have loved ones with similar experiences, aiming to create a more empathetic space. The project is open to artists and artist teams located in Washington state, emphasizing a focus on large-scale mural work. By transforming the aesthetic of the Community Justice Center, the city hopes to foster a more humane atmosphere within a typically stark environment.

Interested applicants can access further details and the application process on the Play Lynnwood website. The deadline for submissions is set for April 13. This project highlights the intersection of art and social issues, offering a unique opportunity for artists to make a meaningful impact.
