Current Local Artist Spotlight: Andrea Khran
We invite artists to submit proposals for a chalk mural installation in our museum lobby gallery. The mural should be a design that enhances the space, inspires community engagement, and reflects the unique spirit of Strathcona County. Themes could include:
-
Local History and Heritage - Celebrate Strathcona County’s history, culture, and traditions. This could include historical landmarks, significant figures, or cultural movements that have shaped the community.
-
Example: A mural depicting the evolution of Strathcona County, from its early days to the modern era, featuring elements like agriculture, indigenous heritage, or industrial development.
-
-
Nature and Environment - The natural landscapes and ecosystems of Strathcona County. The area’s rivers, parks, and green spaces could be central to the mural.
-
Example: A depiction of the local wildlife, forests, rivers, or seasonal changes in the region, capturing the harmony between nature and human activity.
-
-
Futurism and Growth - Explore the future of Strathcona County and how it is evolving. This theme can focus on technological advancements, sustainability, and urban development.
-
Example: A futuristic vision of Strathcona County, with imagery of modern architecture, renewable energy, and interconnected communities, showing how the area is adapting to the future.
-
-
Abstraction and Geometry - Incorporate abstract forms and geometric shapes that can both engage viewers and enhance the architectural features of the lobby space.
-
Example: A dynamic mural filled with geometric patterns, flowing lines, or vibrant color fields that could represent the flow of energy or movement through the community.

As our displays rotate three times a year, this offers a dynamic opportunity for artists to showcase their work and interact with a diverse audience. In addition to the mural, artists are welcome to display and sell their art in the lobby, providing a platform to connect with the community and share their creative expressions.
