*Mural Installation Assistance Needed in Tacoma, WA* *WHAT*: Looking for two assistants to help install a large-scale mural in Tacoma using parachute cloth, a method similar to wheatpasting. The process involves adhering pre-painted fabric panels to the wall using a gel that dries quickly in the sun, so we'll need to work at a steady pace. After the mural is installed, we'll seal it with a protective varnish. *WHEN*: The installation is scheduled to take 7 days, working as a team of 3 people (including myself), tentatively from August 25 - 31. *PAY:* I'm offering $150 per day for each assistant. *QUALIFICATIONS:* Experience with mural work, outdoor installations, or similar projects is a plus, but not required. Reliability, comfort with rollers and squeegees, and being able to work efficiently outdoors are important. This is a great project for artists or art students trying to gain more experience in mural processes and learning from an experienced artist and muralist (you can learn more about the artist at www.raulayala.net) *HOW TO APPLY:* Please send your resume/CV with two references and a little bit about yourself to raulayalart@gmail.com. We are looking to secure people ASAP and by August 15, at the latest.

Thank you so much to all who reached out with interest! At this point, we have found some great candidates from this listserve, and we'll no longer be accepting applications. Looking forward to meeting the Tacoma arts community soon!
