When we started Living Walls over 10 years ago, Living Walls began in a street art world dominated by white, cisgender, heterosexual men. As we invested in the industry, we learned methods of creating access and visibility for historically silenced voices.
In an effort to empower BIPOC, women, queer, and trans artists, Living Walls hosts an annual workshop sharing our expertise in commissions, contracts, and budgeting for public artwork.
Immediately after each workshop, we gather attendee feedback to gauge its impact and interest in future sessions. Following our inaugural workshop, all participants expressed keen interest in continuing and supporting the initiative financially.
Feedback highlighted enthusiasm for business resources like budget and contract templates, along with a desire for deeper dives into these topics. Participants also sought guidance on self-marketing and client pitches, and expressed interest in collaborative networking opportunities in future workshops.
