In an artist call for a downtown mural in Arlington TX, my resume is here, http://bit.ly/2ixwyRV. I will not be entering in the contest since your building is unavailable I am told for a mural consideration, and if this idea does fit other buildings available, the Cafe platform doesn’t like android pixels and I can’t upload to them.
My name is Kim Feil and as a volunteer for the arts in Arlington since 2003, I have painted one of two downtown Local Color venues with the UTA student derived idea of the prism of warm pastel colors.
I so want to be a part of the rebirth of the Local Color of light and officially donate this idea to AT&T should they consider to undertake painting a mural as their contribution to our Downtown Revitalization Plan.
In 2010 I started begging for our murals to be spared…

I saved some onion skin paper for a couple of decades (yep) and finally got to use it when I saw the artists call (without realizing your building was off limits). I taped the onion skin to my laptop yesterday and traced out your building next to the Levitt that I’ve been wanting to paint for almost a decade.

I added the sun and some random colors and the ‘DREAM’ theme….(although windows may not be able to have words on them…it symbolizes my dream to have your building painted).
And a couple of hours later, the first eyeballed draft (meaning the prisms have not yet been mathematically spaced thereof deriving from the sun)…..came to life albeit only on paper……….
AT&T can select any color scheme and their designated crew and if needed I will help try to find crowdfunding for this project as $1,000 has been allotted for the artists call and this project is significantly more expensive.
One can only dream and be persistent..like me. Even though I am afraid of heights, I have proven to be a real trouper and deliver-er of goods like the UTA Student Lutheran Building I personally hand brushed painted (not sprayed) as a donation of my time. Now that I am almost 56 years old I know that I would be a liability up on some scaffolding…so I if asked to do it myself…I just might…but you’d be better off hiring professional painters.
It was truly a labor of love to be up so high. And so it is with being dedicated to a cause for an Arlington Local Color dream.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider allowing me to crowdfund this mural idea that is a collaboration of UT Arlington students, Local Color (Mark Joeckel) and myself (a humble musician and not a self-proclaimed artist). It is within your power to allow Arlington residents to bask in the glory of a finished mural at your legacy building that is a landmark for our Arlington Downtown.
