CLAREMONT Mural Art Youth Mentorship Opportunity

Calling all aspiring creatives

The Town of Claremont is excited to provide a young aspiring artist with the opportunity to grow their skills and gain invaluable experience in a paid mentorship initiative. The successful person will be paid a Mentee Artist Fee of $1,000.00 (ex GST) for their contribution to the creation of the new public artwork mural.

The initiative will see a young person aged 16-25 years work alongside an experienced mural artist to create a new public art mural at our new Bay View Community Centre. 

Bay View Community Centre is our recently refurbished community centre, overlooking the beautiful Claremont Park. The space attracts a diverse range of community members throughout the day, providing great exposure for the awarded artist. 

This mentorship covers all the steps of designing, creating and painting the mural. 

The vision for this new public art mural is to provide an inspiring and visually appealing addition to enhance the experience of community members visiting the centre. 

Eligibility: The initiative is open to any young person aged 16-25 years who is residing in or attending school/college/ higher learning within the Town of Claremont.  

To submit your application: Those interested in applying should send a cover letter (max 2 pages) explaining the motivation behind their submission and being involved in this paid art opportunity. Applicants must also include up to six images of previous artworks(s) they have created that demonstrate artistic style, ability and quality of work. 

Submissions should be sent to artaward@claremont.wa.gov.au before 4pm on Friday 21 February 2025. 

Please ensure you read the above information thoroughly before submitting your entry.
