Fringe Arts Bar invites submissions for ‘Urban Biophilia ~ Your Sanctuary’ where the healing power of nature will be brought inside, just for a moment… Varied forms of art will be used to create an immersive experience for visitors to engage with, honour and pledge their commitment to help heal the planet. The curation will also offer visitors a sanctuary, where they can relax, regain balance and enhance their wellbeing. If selected, they ask Artists for a £22 contribution (like crowdfunding) and/or to give some of their time, as they are all volunteers.

MidPen Housing is seeking a Bay Area artist or artist team to create an original mural that pays homage to the legacy of Ira D. Hall, the building’s namesake. They are not looking for traditional illustration or documentation of this individual’s life, but rather an artist who can tap into the energy and interpret through imagery. Ira D. Hall embodied a life of public service, a variety of careers, as well as a deep interest in art. The artwork spans two floors of the building’s east façade and is visible from the street for cars or pedestrians. The purpose of including this mural in the architectural design is to infuse the building and neighborhood with the inspiring history and sense of style of this influential individual, Ira D Hall.
