KRCL, The Gateway, and The Blocks are partnering up for International Women’s Day to commission local artists for a special live painting mural projecting depicting “Queens of Music.” Women artists are asked to pay homage to their favorite female musician in any of these categories: soul, country, hip-hop, rock & roll, pop, punk, funk, retro soul or other favorite genres. Artist proposals will be accepted through Feb. 17. Eight muralists will be selected based on submissions to paint their chosen artist during the March 7 International Women’s Day festival. Paintings will be done on 8-foot cubes to be located at The Gateway and potentially around downtown Salt Lake to showcase their works to a wider audience. Artists are asked to submit an inspiration mood board, examples of previous artwork, a summary of their concept and why they selected their particular musician. Each artist will receive a $750 award for their live painting project. For further details, visit shopthegateway.com.
