Let’s Make a Mural!

Don’t let your art hit a wall — paint it! This course, taught at Red Deer Polytechnic, is designed to deconstruct the mystery and trepidation around mural-making for new-to-it artists. Learn practical mural-making skills, and how plan & propose your own murals to granting organizations. We’ll look to visual projects from around the globe for inspiration and learn from talks by local mural artists. Throughout the week, class-mates will create their own collaborative group murals.

Taught by Amber Solberg, a muralist and project facilitator for not-for-profit kindness society, Altruistic Current. To date, Amber’s worked on a handful of murals, bringing together the work of 200 Community Members and 15 Professional Artists in making community murals for the Halifax Regional Municipality, the Downtown Halifax Business Association, and Parks Canada.

Registration deadline: July 7, 2025
Dates/times: July 14 – 18, 2025, 9am – 4pm
