Calling All Muralists: Williamsburg’s American Apparel Wants You
Commercial murals are making a major comeback, right? I was personally blown away by the Grand Theft Auto V mural that sat at Broadway/Lafayette last fall and the every-changing Adult Swim murals off Bedford Avenue are always entertaining.
Well, now you too can become a part of mural herstory: According to Racked NY, the American Apparel at 104 N. 6th Street is looking for a talented artist to paint a 41 ft. x 16 ft. wall for them. And apparently, they don’t care what it’s about as long as it catches their fancy.
The lucky talented winner will receive a $500 fee and a $500 AA gift card (you can buy, like, 5 pairs of their jeans with that kind of money!) Additionally, the costs of all painting supplies will be covered, so no worries on that front.
The deadline for proposals is April 1, which is exactly two weeks away, so you might want to get cracking on that and send all sketches and mockups to muralcontest@americanapparel.net ASAP. Good luck!
