Digital Mural Artist

5 giorni fa

Provincia di Venezia, Italia Sparcinla A tempo pieno

The Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC) is a community-based non-profit arts organization dedicated to producing and preserving murals and public artworks in Los Angeles neighborhoods. Co-founded in 1976 by muralist and activist Judith F. Baca, SPARC has a decades-long legacy of creating the ethnic face of the city and representing and uplifting communities of color through collaborative grassroots mural production.

Right now, we are working on expanding The Great Wall of Los Angeles , the longest mural in the world. Begun by Judy Baca in 1978, The Great Wall visually tells the silenced and repressed stories of marginalized communities in Los Angeles and California, beginning with Indigenous history and continuing to the present day.

We are seeking a Digital Artist adept at using digital tools for drawing, painting, and composition to provide hands-on support for SPARC's works of public art. The Digital Artist will work under another Digital Artist and the Artistic Director in-house in our Digital/Mural Lab , a unique research and artistic production facility that uses state-of-the-art computer technology to facilitate the production of public artworks. The Digital/Mural Lab is equipped with outstanding tools and technology, collaborative spaces, a mural painting studio, and mural fabrication and prototyping equipment. We work in a creative, stimulating environment that is highly flexible and customizable for creative projects. Ultimately, the projects that are envisioned in the DM/L contribute to a body of public imagery that speaks of both beauty and social change in our public spaces.
