CALL FOR ENTRIES Street Road is taking design entries for a very big mural, to cover a 4000 SF building, located on our busy local highway, PA Route 41.
Street Road is turning our sights to some other parts of our property that need a little TLC. Up on the hill, behind our cottage, is a commercial building that serves as an office upstairs, storage downstairs. The structure is very much in need of some new paint and we are soliciting entries for a mural design to cover all sides of this two story building. That's a 4000 square foot space, so we need BIG ideas. We are inspired by the profusion of mural art that Philly sports and that continues to gain recognition. 

Submitted entries will be posted here online, and will also be exhibited in a show at Street Road.
GUIDELINES 
  • Look and feel: below are some existing murals/wall installations from around the world that we like. We will continue to add to this collection. Designs don't have to have anything to do with these. We just like them. In general we want the design to 'tie the room together' so to speak, as The Big Lebowski would say. To that end, we suggest tonalities pick up on the blue and brown of our little cottage and the greens of the surrounding countryside.
  • Format for entries: whatever you think best conveys your idea for the mural. Come visit us to see the building in person. Call us if you're unsure what to send. Call us just because.
  • A little background on the building -- the lower level was once a mushroom house, the top half was added later (1990s maybe?), and we think that our friendly groundhogs still live in a lower-lower level of their very own creation.
  • Send entries by email to info@streetroad.org
  • or, via snail mail: 725 Street Road, Cochranville, PA 19330
  • Call or email if you have any questions at all.

A word about 'here':
We acknowledge that we are on the ancestral lands of the Lenape, original people of the mid-Atlantic area, forced west by British and US governments. Most Delaware Indian tribe descendents are now located in Oklaholma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. Lenni Lenapes in Pennsylvania are not officially recognized as tribes by the United States, though an estimated 5000 Lenape Nation descendents live in the Delaware River area. We pay respects to the Lenape people both past and present. Please consider the many legacies of violence, displacement and settlement that form part of our collective histories. While increased public recognition of these legacies and processes of redress such as Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission are positive steps, concrete focus on return of land and land rights remains a distant horizon.
