Bloomfield Township and its Board of Education are seeking local artists ages 16 and older, to volunteer their services to paint murals over graffiti at various locations around town, including three trailers at Franklin Elementary School.
Paint supplies will be provided by the township and the school board.
“The local artist team will develop a sustainable method to connect community with professional artists and technical assistance to create beautiful, diverse and enduring community-based art projects,” a township statement said.
“The effort will primarily focus on properties that are identified as prime graffiti sites by reclaiming them and turning them into places for community art . . .”
Artists who are interested should submit samples of their work including artwork from art classes, work that has been completed independently, and sketch books. Video tapes are acceptable.
To sign up or for more information, contact Rosemary Brown, at 973 680-4080 or e-mail Rbrown@bloomfieldtwpnj.com.
