The mural project has a flat fee of $3,900 to cover teach time, materials and creation of the mural mock up. Additionally, the project is priced based on the square footage of your wall. On average, the murals cost around $8,000.

I allow 14 days for each mural project. The first week is for teach time. Three days are for “mural mapping” where I scan the student drawings and put them together in the mural sketch. Finally, there are 4-5 days for painting.

I choose art based on themes. Did a lot of students draw your mascot? I’ll try to include various versions. Ultimately my goal is to include as many drawings as possible and to make sure each classroom is represented.

No problem! I’ll work with your teachers and staff to create a schedule where I can visit classrooms individually. I have plenty of experience working both with or without an art teacher. The key to the project being successful is having a point person at school that serves as my connection. I do my best to keep the lesson short and organized so we don’t disrupt teachers’ daily schedules and student routines.

The short answer is “sure.” Getting your community involved does expedite the project. It’s also a great way to expose adult volunteers to the great work being done at your school and the big, beautiful ideas of your students. If this is something you want to pursue we should discuss it while putting together our initial ideas and plans for the project.

As a traveling artist, I try my best to not pass on my airfare or lodging cost to my school clients.

I do, however, as schools to put a call out to parents and community members asking if they would be able to host an artist for two weeks while I’m in town. This allows me to keep the project affordable.
