Registration open for Mural Art Camp during fall break

Arts educator Paula Gieseke will lead the camp for students in grades 5 through 12.

Students on fall break Oct. 5 through 9 will have an opportunity to paint a new mural in downtown Hopkinsville during the Pennyroyal Arts Council’s Mural Art Camp. 

Registration is now open for the camp. The cost is $100. Space is limited to 12 students in grades 5 through 12.

“Led by art educator Paula Gieseke, this hands-on program will walk participants through the exciting process of mural-making, from initial design to the final brushstrokes,” Bri Smith, the arts council’s education coordinator, said in a press release. “Campers will work together to create a vibrant, permanent mural on the wall of a downtown business; a lasting contribution to Hopkinsville’s growing public art scene.”

The campers will meet from 9 a.m. to noon each day.

Registration is available online. Additional information is available by contacting Smith at bri.smith@pennyroyalarts.org or 270-887-4295, ext. 104.
