The London School of Muralism is thrilled to offer 2 scholarship opportunities for the 5th course, scheduled to run from January 4th to May 28th, 2025, spanning twenty weeks.

This course will delve deep into the realm of self-initiated, artist-led community murals, prioritising group creative expression over individual, unilateral or commercial murals production.

Participants will engage in weekly sessions comprising hands-on making, drawing, and painting on Saturdays (10:00 to 13:00) and theoretical discussions on Wednesdays (18:00 to 21:00).

Our emphasis will be on fostering creative collaboration— empowering participants to co-create mural concepts while guiding the artistic and production processes from inception to completion. Throughout the five month duration, students will explore all facets of mural development, execution and evaluation, culminating in the creation of your own participatory murals.

As a grand finale, you will form part of a team to create a high profile, large-scale mural led by LSoM and Artmongers founder Patricio Forrester.

How To Apply

To Apply:

• Provide an expression of interest and relevant experience (maximum 500 words, or a 3-5 minute video/audio as an alternative).
• Submit six visual samples of your relevant artwork production.

Application Deadline: 18 November 2024.
