Imurj's
Error: Art Not Found
initiative is all about long-form, non-traditional exhibition opportunities. We’re talking works in and on Imurj’s building where art does not already exist. These muralettes are for artists looking to push the boundaries of what 2 dimensional art can be in a public space.
Submissions to this program are open for longer periods of time and are curated based on submitted designs.

Furthering Imurj’s goal of fostering a community of emerging artists, we have an exciting exhibition opportunity that needs your ambitious spirit! Our bathrooms are filled with boring, empty spaces that need some love from the Imurj community of artists! To fill these spaces, Imurj is seeking proposals for “muralettes” (literally small murals) to occupy these spaces. These works will be on display for one year, and will occupy a single panel of either the women's or men's stalls.
Applicants are asked to submit one to three images of the work they'd like to create in our stalls.
Upon acceptance, Members will be asked to work on-site around the hours that work for them. You'll work with our Art Director, Kenneth Proseus, to schedule a quick check-in to pick your space and get to work. Just gesso the space (gesso and chip brushes provided), as primer, and you'll be good to go.
Who can Apply: Imurj Members and Non-Members
No Theme - Just make what you love. Keep in mind Imurj is a family venue, so no profanity or needless gore. Tasteful nudity allowed. You'll work with our Art Director to workshop your design if you're unsure of whether or not your design is appropriate. It never hurts to ask!
Application Fee: $20 for non-members
Submission Period: Rolling submission, until spaces are filled
Notification of Acceptance: within one week of submission
Applications accepted until we're full.
The size of the spaces vary depending on the stall and which panel of the stall you are painting on. Just work with our Art Director on picking your space upon acceptance.
Submitted Images should have a resolution of at least 200 dpi and be no larger than 5 megabytes. Artists may submit up to 4 images for consideration, or multiples of one design i.e. detail shots or variations.

Something for Everyone - November 2018
Something for Everyone - Call For Art
In the spirit of supporting and celebrating emerging artists, Imurj’s November gallery exhibit aims to open the doors of exhibiting to any style and level of artist. Something for Everyone is unjuried, and aims to include as many artists as possible. Something for Everyone also refers to your patrons as well!
