Mentorship Program
One of the pillars of BRUSH Mural Fest is centered around our commitment to ensuring that participating artists receive the resources needed to succeed. This includes a robust mentorship program between selected professional muralists, and emerging artists.
Definitions
“PRO” Artists are professional muralist with 8-10 completed murals, at least 4-5 of which are exterior, and proficiency in handling large scale (1000+ SF) mural installations.
“Rising Star” Artists are artists, 18 years or older, with 0-2 painted murals experience and a plan to focus on murals as their main medium.
The Partnership
The Mentorship Program will be tailored to each partnership, with guidance provided for mentors throughout the duration of the festival and beyond.
We are currently building an online bank of resource handbooks and technical guides that will be available to all participating artists.
What it’s like to be a part of the BRUSH mentorship program …
“It’s been a dream to get to know and work with our Rising Star, Camila — and rising star she is! This woman is so excited to learn, to work, and to chat.”
Kait Klusewitz and Caroline Lampinen, Pros, BRUSH 2023
“Being part of BRUSH was a dream come true and I can’t thank everyone involved enough for this amazing experience. Being paired with and painting alongside Kait and Caroline felt like a whirlwind of inspiration and learning. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to work on a large-scale mural. The support, mentorship and warm camaraderie that I received throughout this process have been priceless!!”
