LIVE painting - portable murals

Nov 08, 2021

Hi Everyone,

November has been a bit chilly but you know what when you want to paint outside... ya bundle up!!! So happy I had the chance to test out London Arts Council NEW portable murals this month with a bunch of other local artists.

What is a portable mural? you may be asking yourself. Well it has 4 sides, 3 wheels and 1 handle and is made by the Community Woodshop here in London, Canada.

As things are opening and the wood boards are slowly being removed from windows of local biz, London Arts Council decided to pivot and adapt to the changes. We now have 6, which allows 12 artists to paint LIVE together at once. Soon we'll be adding another 2. I seriously can't wait to see 16 visual artists creating on the street together. Magical things happen with collaboration.

Here are some photos from our last session. It's hard to document when KD (Kimberly) and I are painting together. By the way, I'm sooooo super proud of her and can't wait to share her first mural (pics below) ... If you happen to take any pics or vids, please share them with us. We'd love to see them.

To find out more about this work and how it came to be... follow Studio SHIM on Facebook, Instagram & webstore.

Where can you find us next??? We'll be at the OEV re-opening!!!!

When: November 13th from 11am to 2pm

Where: Dundas St and English, London Ontario
