Using a pattern that has roots in several Ancient cultures, Meander brings together the colors from a variety of Pride flags. The small printed portraits found throughout the mural come from two sources. Blended together in harmony are linoblock images produced by citizens of Austin of themselves or loved ones as well as artist produced illustrations of persons from the Queer community who have helped moved forward the cause of equality. Scroll down this page to see galleries of all the portraits in the project.
Meander is part of the inaugural 2-D version of the City of Austin's Tempo Public Art Program. Special thanks to the Parks & Recreation department for hosting our community workshops at the Lamar Senior Center and to Midtown Ishmael Law Firm, PC for their financial support.
Filling out applications....
Flash Collective has been able to pay artists to exhibit and offered free community participation art events since 2017. Getting things funded requires a slower approach, but it is well worth it. Right now we are looking for grants and partner organizations who fit with our general goals of lifting up the people.
FC is always available for curatorial work, art consulting, and community engagement. Have an idea or an inquiry? Let us know!
