Artists wanted for mural project in Warren

WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) – Artists are being encouraged to create a vibrant design to brighten up Warren.

The Fine Arts Council of Trumbull County and TNP are looking for renderings that celebrate a healthy community.

The mural will be on the side of the FACT building, which is 118 feet wide and 45 feet tall. A bus shelter will be built alongside the street, and it will have a wrap also designed by the artist.
It could become a hub for the community, bringing attention to downtown Warren

“This bus stop has been there for over a decade, I believe, and there’s never been a shelter. So we thought this would be a perfect opportunity going along with the healthy community, having shelter for the elements while people were waiting for the bus stop and enjoying some public art,” said Jessica King, with the Fine Arts Council.

The deadline to submit artwork is Friday, Aug. 30. Submit artwork to TNP, 736 Mahoning Ave., Warren. For more information contact Jessica King at 330-469-6828, Ext. 104 or at jessica@tnpwarren.org.
