Call for Artists: LGBTQ Art Mural Program (Studio West 117)

Calling all visual artists! We are looking for artists to design and create over two dozen murals and works of art in the Fieldhouse at Studio West 117. Designed to uplift, support, and connect our region’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer+ (LGBTQ+) community, the Fieldhouse at Studio West 117 will offer a Gymnasium for recreational sports and community events, three international restaurants, Lakewood’s first public rooftop patio, and a collection of indoor and outdoor murals and public art through our Art Mural Program.

Phase One of the Art Mural Program includes murals in the Gymnasium, a facility that will host an LGBTQ+ Youth Sports League, Stonewall Sports Dodgeball, as well as numerous community and private events. Phase Two of the Art Mural Program includes remaining murals of the Fieldhouse at Studio West. This will include the Courtyard, restaurant and bar spaces, and additional locations that encourage physical activity and well-being. Since art is also essential to our well-being, the Art Mural Program will invite artists and communities to collaboratively engage with one another to inspire mural designs.
