Beerline Trail Youth Mural Project

The Harambee Great Neighborhoods Initiative together with Artworks for Milwaukee, mural artist Reynaldo Hernandez, and Riverworks Development Corporation finalized a project to work with youth in producing a mural this summer. Reynaldo Hernandez will be the lead artist, and we are looking to hire three neighborhood youth to work with him as youth apprentices. Youth will be paid $6.00/hr over a five week program period. All apprentices must be enrolled in high school and live in the 53212 zip code north of Center Street.

The project is scheduled to begin on July 20 at Reynaldo's studio. Applications must be submitted to Meghan Koven at Artworks for Milwaukee by July 13. You can access this application and all the details by visiting the Artworks for Milwaukee website at http://www.artworksformilwaukee.org/. Scroll down to the "Announcements" section where the Beerline Trail Mural Project is highlighted and open the application by clicking on the "Click here" link.
