Volunteers needed NOW for Mural Artist Selection Committee

Help select the artist to create a new mural
for the Echo Lake Neighborhood

If you live in the Echo Lake Neighborhood and are passionate about public art, we have a job for you!

The Call for Artists is over and now the fun begins to select the artist that will design and paint over the fading Echo Lake Neighborhood mural on NE 205th and 1st NE.

We need 3-4 volunteers from the Echo lake Neighborhood to sit on the selection committee. The committee will be made up of representatives from the Echo Lake Neighborhood, members from the Parks Board art committee, an impartial artist and facilitated by Ros Bird, Public Arts Coordinator for Shoreline.

We anticipate there will be 2-3 meetings to narrow the field and conduct artist interviews. Proposed dates being considered, subject to change depending on committee members and artist’s availability, are:

Monday April 15th 3- 5:00 pm

Wednesday April 17th 3 -5:00 pm

Monday April 22nd 3-5:00 pm

As you can see by the dates, we need to move quickly on forming the committee! If you would like to participate, please contact Barbara Guthrie, 542-3242, by Wednesday April 10th.

The Echo Lake neighborhood of Shoreline is within the areas bounded by Aurora and I-5 to the west and east, and 205th and 185th to the north and south.
