Paint a mural in Easton, PA
No fee to apply.
The mural site is the south-facing wall of 501 Cattell Street, at the corner of Monroe and Cattell Streets.

This project seeks to create a highly-visible piece of art on the side of 501 Cattell Street, currently College Hill Café. We hope to follow Easton’s other three neighborhoods by commissioning a mural that evokes the unique culture and sense of place that is College Hill. Our committee, along with public survey, selected 501 Cattell because it is located at a highly-visible, signalized intersection along the primary route to Easton’s northern suburbs.

Our goals for this mural project are:

Returning public art to College Hill in a space that previously had a mural

To celebrate community pride and identity

To infuse the neighborhood with more beauty

As it will be the only painted mural in the neighborhood currently, to create art that beautifies a blank canvas in the neighborhood but which also is evocative of the neighborhood’s diverse culture and history.

ADOLPH & ESTHER GOTTLIEB EMERGENCY GRANT
For painters, printmakers, and sculptors who have been creating mature art for at least 10 years, and have recently undergone an unforeseen catastrophic event such as a fire, flood, or medical emergency. There are no deadlines for this program.

To be eligible for this program, an artist must be able to demonstrate a minimum involvement of ten years in a mature phase of his or her work. Artists must work in the disciplines of painting, sculpture or printmaking. Each application will be reviewed by the directors, who will exercise their discretion in considering it, and will determine the amount of each award. Applicants should note there is a set amount appropriated for these grants each fiscal year; once this budgetary limit has been reached, the Foundation will not be able to judge any additional requests on their merits.

Second-party requests are honored only when the applicant is physically unable to communicate with the Foundation. Review procedures for completed applications begin as soon as they are received. Full review generally takes about four weeks from the time an application is complete. Situations with imminent deadlines will receive priority.
