Call for Young Artists: Join the Dock+ Mural Project!

Are you creative? Curious about mural painting? Want to learn how to bring a bold new mural to life?

We’re looking for 5 mentees (ages 16–30) to help paint a mural on the kitchen doors of The Dock+ in Port Alberni. You don’t need to be a professional artist—just excited to learn, contribute, and be part of something meaningful.


Key Dates

  • Deadline to Apply: April 25
  • Sketch Day: May 3 (Rain date: May 10) (Optional attendance for mentees)
  • Painting Days: May 24–25
  • Final Sealing Day: May 26 (Mentees do not need to attend.)

What You’ll Do

  • Learn how murals are prepped, sketched, painted, and sealed
  • Assist with painting by colour blocks (Like colour by number!)
  • Work on a public art piece alongside experienced artists
  • Get credit as a contributing artist + media exposure
