SUMMARY:Mastering Muralism: Art\, Community\, and Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Join long-time collaborators\, muralists\, and friends Max Gonzales and Shane Pilster for a session on mural-making best practices. Discover the distinctions between street art\, graffiti\, style writing\, and muralism\, and gain insights into the practical aspects of art commissions. Gonzales and Pilster will share their experiences with creative control\, budgeting\, and the client-artist relationship\, emphasizing professional integrity. \nLearn about the tangible aspects of mural creation\, from conceptualization and mock-ups to budgeting for time\, materials\, and travel. Understand the labor-intensive nature of muralism and its public setting\, where varied reactions add to the vibrancy of the art form. \nThis talk will highlight the collaborative strengths that drive their projects\, showcasing how teamwork enhances creativity. With a focus on design\, mock-ups\, and real-world challenges\, Gonzales and Pilster aim to inspire and educate aspiring artists. \nThis session is geared toward artists at any stage of their career who want to learn more about the mural process. The guest presenters encourage participants to bring any and all questions – even the most challenging. \nAbout Max Gonzales\nMax Emiliano Gonzales\, also known by their artist name “GEMS”\, can be classified as an activist\, art educator\, muralist\, graffiti writer\, curator\, and much more.
