Featured Artist Program

What is the featured artist project?

Monash Youth Services (MYS) commissions young artists to design and produce a mural on a feature wall located in the youth space at MYS.  This project celebrates Monash young peoples creativity, self-expression and storytelling through public art.

The design must be uplifting and youth friendly, whilst including the statement:  

“Monash Youth Services stands on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung People.”

The mural must be completed in chalk and cover a blackboard space of 4.9m (length), 2.5m (height). 

All materials will be provided by MYS.

The featured artist will be compensated to cover travel time, and other associated cost with a $250 voucher at the completion of the project commitment.  Each mural is displayed for a period of 3 – 5 months, depending on scheduling decided by MYS.

Who can apply?

Young people aged 15 – 25 who live, work or play in the City of Monash.
