It’s our goal to feature call to artists when we see them. We just came across this animal shelter art mural project and had to share! We-Reach Out has partnered with ASK, The Riverside County Department of Animal Services and Healthy Jurupa Valley and are inviting individual artists to submit applications for TWO painted mural projects at the Riverside County Department of Animal Services’ Jurupa Valley animal shelter. The selected artist(s) will work with Project Committee representatives from the Animal Solutions Konnection (ASK) Foundation, Riverside County Department of Animal Services, and Healthy Jurupa Valley to create exterior painted murals for the facility.
