You’re invited to join Roxbury muralist Dr. Rob “Problak” Gibbs, local artists, and A.R.T. in the collaborative process to create a new mural!
A.R.T.’s new home in Boston will feature a new piece of public art: a mural that reflects Boston’s residents and the future we envision together. The design process begins this fall at free workshop experiences co-led by Problak, celebrated local muralists, and members of A.R.T.’s Engagement team. No experience necessary to participate—just come ready to share stories about your past, present, and hopes for the future. The imagery and ideas sparked will help shape the mural’s design and help create something truly meaningful for everyone.
The two-hour workshops are free and designed for all ages. Supplies and hospitality will be provided. All workshops are open to the public, but RSVPs are recommended.
Problak leads this workshop with Boston-based artist Jeremy “Sobek” Harrison, who merges his illustrations with graffiti to create large-scale murals of aerosol abstract realism.
