The Pennyroyal Arts Council invites local artists to submit proposals for an exciting new project: the Mural Art Camp, a part of our smARTS programming, taking place October 6–10, 2025.

The selected artist will lead a week-long camp designed to engage community youth in the creation of a public art piece.

The project will culminate in a vibrant new mural on the wall of a local downtown business, adding to the Pennyroyal Arts Council’s growing collection of public art murals throughout the city and enhancing the cultural landscape of downtown.
