WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR...
Creative kids who love to play with color!
This contest is open to all kids from elementary school up to high school who live in Anacortes, WA.
​
We would like each young artist to submit a mural design (must be an original design) inspired by our community!
The design can be nautical theme or any theme that represents our beautiful, artistic town. Think: Octopus legs, mermaid tails, sailboats, etc. Wings are also welcome if that is what calls to you!
​
We are looking for a captivating design that is interactive. Our inspiration for this contest came from wing murals that can be found all over the country (pictured here is Frannie Bigge in Nashville #KelseyMontagueArt).
​
The mural will be painted on an outdoor wall at Buxton's (1904 Commercial Avenue). The winning design will be painted by the artist with help of local adult artists.
