      Ariel, apologize for the delay. The project will be completed in two phases:

      In Phase One, artists will transform the existing beige and grey walls of Downtown into modern works of art. The first murals will be painted in the Arts District along Fourth St. then spread throughout the rest of downtown.

      In Phase Two, a mobile art installation component will be added in partnership with the Lamar Advertising Company. The Baton Rouge based company will print artwork on large, vinyl banners that fasten to buildings creating an outdoor gallery setting. This mobile extension of the mural project will open the submissions process to all visual art disciplines including fine art, graphic design, and photography.

      Thanks for your interest in the project, drop us an email with further questions : support@brwallsproject.com.
