Following the success of the first Earth Day Mural, unveiled on April 24, 2021, the Community Environmental Council (CEC), Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara (MCASB), and Paseo Nuevo are partnering once again to identify a local artist, or artist group, to paint a large public mural inspired by Climate Leadership and Earth Day.
This year artists in the Tri-Counties are invited to submit their artistic concepts via an online portal alongside a proposal for a mural that expresses what Earth Day and Climate Leadership mean to them. One concept will be selected to appear on the Paseo Nuevo Arts Terrace Parking Deck adjacent to MCASB. The selected artist, or artist group, will receive a stipend and a materials budget to paint their mural between April 11-21, 2022. Support for painting the mural will be provided by the project partners. The final mural will be revealed during CEC’s Earth Day event at the Arlington Theatre on Saturday, April 23, 2022. Application Deadline: Friday, March 11, 2022, 5 PM PST.
