OCALA, FL (352today.com) – Calling all local artists! Ocala Cultural Arts is inviting creative individuals to design and oversee a unique paint-by-numbers-style community mural project for the Marion Cultural Alliance (MCA) at the Brick City Center for the Arts. This engaging initiative will take place during the highly anticipated 2025 Levitt AMP Ocala Music Series.

Five talented artists will be selected to design and paint two metal awning panels, each inspired by different genres of music. This opportunity is open to artists currently living and working in Marion County and its surrounding counties. Selected designs will be vetted and approved to ensure they are family-friendly, non-political, and free from copyright infringement.

Artists or art groups chosen for this project will receive an $800 honorarium upon the completion of the concert series. The final designs will not only contribute to the vibrant cultural atmosphere of the Brick City Center for the Arts but also allow community members to participate in creating a collaborative masterpiece.
