TO SPONSOR THE MURAL Please email sponsorhip@119gallery.org for information.   TO JOIN THE GALLERY   Visit our membership page.   THANK YOU TO  The Cultural Organization of Lowell for partnering with us. K YOU TO        Our marketing is supported in   part by a grant from the Lowell   Cultural Council, which is supported by  the Massachussets Cultural Council.       ANNOUNCING THE WINNERS OF    THE 2011 MURAL COMPETITION:    Lindsey Parker       Stephanie Lak THE WINNING PROPOSAL   Our proposed work is a collaborative, multimedia piece. As part of the mural we are combining our love for working with live plants (garden beds), bright colors (paint), recycled materials and community involvement.   The squares In the center of the mural are vertical garden beds, essentially wooden frames within frames. We will grow ivy, cedum and phlox inside the frames. The natural formation and growth of the plants will compliment the hard edges of the mural and vertical beds. The plant life will be rooted in layers of peat moss, soil and gravel (for drainage) held together by chicken wire/netting. The rest of the mural will surround the beds and take up the rest of the wall space.    The painted spaces that will surround the hanging vertical garden beds will create illusionistic space using 3D elements and vibrant tones to capture the viewers attention from near and far. One side will showcase Lindsey's work and the other Stephanie's. We will collaborate in the center.        We will ask the gallery community to volunteer in the care and upkeep of the vertical garden beds. Our mural is a testimonial and visual translation of our personal missions to keep our creative visions and projects alive with the support of our community. In addition to community involvement, we are creating a visually striking "green" facade and only using found and recycled materials to add to our conscious mission.     119 GALLERY WOULD LIKE TO THANK   All the artists who stepped up to submit a mural proposal!        119 Gallery promotes contemporary and new media art, innovative ideas and cutting-edge techniques with a rich and diverse program of exhibitions, performances and community-based arts services.
