Cat Colony Mural Contest

Organization: Animal Rescue League of Berks County Location Animal Rescue League of Berks County - 58 Kennel Road, Birdsboro, PA 19508 Entry Fee Paid Entry Deadline September 15, 2014 Exhibition Oct 1 - Oct 26, 2014
Objective: Since the ARL has received massive media exposure for our Book Buddies program in early 2014, hundreds, if not thousands, of visitors have come to our shelter to participate in this fun, educational, and free program. With all this attention we quickly realized that our cat colonies could use a facelift.

The cat colony walls and floors will first be corrected of deterioration of epoxy which has made our cats more susceptible to disease. This project will be completed in late 2014 - early 2015 utilizing grant funds.

After restoration is complete, the ARL would love to create a more fun, colorful, and functional space in the cat colonies by asking artists to submit mural design concepts and allowing the four most-voted-for submissions to be implemented by the winning artists.

Thousands of people visit the ARL each year and this opportunity presents one-of-a-kind exposure for artists!

The Details

Call for artists submissions August 1st - September 15th.

A jury formed by Berks Arts Council will judge all submissions and determine which concepts will advance based on family friendly content and skill level.

Contestants will be posted online at www.BerksARL.org from Oct 1 – Oct 25.

Viewers will be given the chance to vote on their favorite for $1.00 donation and can vote as many times as they like during the voting period.

The top 10 finalists will be notified on October 26th and will receive 1 ticket to the the ARL's annual Gala on November 1st. Additional tickets can be purchased.

The final four winners will be announced on November 1st at the Annual Gala.

Actual painting will occur in early 2015 after initial rehab in the colonies is complete. The ARL will reach out to each artist to schedule times for painting that work for both parties.
