name: Artmakers Inc.
biografische angaben: Artmakers Inc. is an artist-run, politically-oriented community mural organization that creates high quality public art relevant to the lives, work and concerns of people in their neighborhoods.
Established in 1983, Artmakers has created over 50 murals primarily in New York City, but also nationally and internationally.
Artmakers works in collaboration with community based organizations, block associations, LDCs, public schools, community gardens, health care and mental health facilities, homeless shelters, day care centers and other arts organizations. Artmakers helps groups determine mural themes and content, and involves them in all aspects of the murals’ creation.
Young people work as paid apprentices through Artmakers’ Pre-Professional Training Program. Exposed and held to the highest possible aesthetic standards, they learn valuable skills – both artistic and job-related. Artmakers also consults with community groups interested in organizing community murals on their own and, for a moderate fee, will provide on-site visits, design workshops, and production advice.
