Looking for a Creative Team to Design and Paint a Mural at BRC!

One of New York City’s largest and most comprehensive social services agencies, BRC serves men and women who are homeless, or at risk of becoming so. We are committed to our mission to help the homeless of New York City and are always happy to hear from others who have the same passion and desire to make a difference.

We have several residential programs throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens, several of which are very interested in brightening up their common spaces through murals. We are actively looking for a team of volunteers who have a creative edge and can come up with ideas. This is a multi-step process:

• Visit the selected site to view the space, meet with staff, discuss ideas, make suggestions
• Create a design based on these conversations, then submit that design for review
• Once the design is selected, a few volunteers will converge on the site to put up the outline (think of a coloring book or paint-by-numbers)
• All volunteers in your group will return to the site to paint the mural over a full day, or multiple days

If you do have the skillset for this, and are interested in bringing in some light and color to a homeless facility, we would love to hear from you!
