International Mural by Mail Network
We have a very exciting event that begins in January, 2023. The Lloyd Center will be hosting an International Arts Festival. It will highlight 10 International Mural by Mail countries over a four month period, culminating with a comprehensive festival of the 10 countries in June.
The International Mural by Mail is a project designed to give artists the opportunity to network and communicate visually with other artists on a global scale. We are currently working with over 20 artists from all over the world, such as Cuba, Mongolia, China and Ukraine.
This series of large-scale murals, is created jointly by artists of diverse cultural backgrounds and artistic persuasions, in a collaborative exchange conducted entirely by mail. On one end, a mural is completed by the participating international artist, on the other end, another mural is completed by local Portland artists. The two murals are started in one location and then mailed back and forth to the other location, as the artists add to each other's work.
This exchange will continue until an artist determines a composition is complete, and thereupon creates a finished painting based on the drawing that has been exchanged.
