School Residencies
An experience your students will remember.
Artist-in-Residence
with Capital Murals
Artist-led residencies get students in on the painting fun by giving them the opportunity to work collaboratively and create a mural with their peers.
This is an engaging, memorable, hands-on experience that allows students to make a meaningful mark on their school. Our team has experience working with kids of all ages, disabilities, and everything in between!
What to Expect
Consult & Prep
We will meet with you to discuss your ideas for the project and create a game plan for your class.
Our team will prep the mural beforehand and will have all the paints ready to go. Depending on the size of the class or project, we may have the kids take turns in small groups to make sure everyone has a chance to contribute.
I have nothing but raving reviews about Jenny Burgei and her team at Capital Murals. From the very beginning, she and her colleague were very thorough in asking questions about what we needed and desired for our spaces, taking measurements and photos and mocking up a lovely design that not only included our vision for the space, but also incorporated the existing quirks on the wall (like an HVAC vent panel) that needed to be considered.
Jenny handled all the prep and cleanup and was great working with the group taking their turn painting, while I was able to manage the groups not painting. The whole process was smooth and easy. Teachers and staff members enjoyed participating in the painting as well, and we are all overjoyed at the result and are so glad to have this mural permanently a part of our school. I very much look forward to working with her and Capital Murals again as soon as we can for our next mural.

Let's Paint It!
Now it's time for the fun part! After introductions and a quick tutorial on painting etiquette, your class can get started on their mural with our guidance.
We make sure to keep the integrity of the art made by little hands - but sometimes a little refinement is needed. Our team will put the finishing touches on your project and then seal everything in a clear coat to make it last for years to come!
