PRIDE 2023 mural project – Call for Artist

ISANS is seeking an artist from the LGBTQIA+ community to participate in our artist in residence program for PRIDE 2023.  

The residency will start immediately upon selection, and we're looking for an artist to create a painting/mural for our Mumford office location by August 2023. ISANS’ vision is to create a community where all can belong and grow. We want to create a welcoming space for all clients and staff of diverse identities and backgrounds who walk into our offices. In addition to celebrating PRIDE, we hope this mural will inform and educate our staff, clients, and community partners on the lived experiences of members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

For the successful applicant, ISANS pays the artist fee, material expenses, and support throughout the process.
