Hi all,

I had a project lined up in town with a great Swiss artist and friend of mine BustArt. However last week there was a rather tragic accident in front of the wall, and the owners felt it was inappropriate timing to continue. However for a variety of reasons and other engagements BustArt will still be coming to town the week of Thanksgiving, but now with no wall to paint.

So, are you interested in a wall from a top talent at low to no cost? If you are interested and have a wall that is

  1. Publicly visible (not indoors, not in your private back yard, etc..)
  2. Not overly filled with windows/doors
  3. Within city limits

Please drop me a line. For taller walls we would need the cost of a lift covered. The ideal wall would be on a corner on a busy street, but we are open to alleys and other as well of course. Because he would not be charging you he will need to have the majority of creative control, but of course you get an idea of what he is going for before you say yes or no.

He is interested in walls that dont fit thay description but that would need to be commissioned work.

Thanks, Nils

p.s. Some of you may recall I made a similar post about a Norwegian artist visiting last year. Y’all came through big time and I appreciate it. I have reached back out to a few of you who replied last year, many thanks.

Hey Nils. I volunteer with the Friends of Fonticello Park. We are looking for muralists to work on various surfaces in Fonticello Park/Carter Jones playground located between the Swansboro & Woodland Heights neighborhoods (28th & Perry St is one entrance to the park).

If your friend is interested please let me know and I can get you in touch with our board members. We have several surfaces, and even an entire structure covering the spring located in the center of the park. Nothing requires a cherry picker and it'd be really cool to showcase their work.

Thanks!
