The Making Of
Our First Public Art Piece
We're looking for an artist for our biggest, boldest collaboration ever.
By Tia
The Set-Up: a community-wide open call
Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do at Tia, so for our first public art piece, we're looking for an artist to help us bring our vision to life. We're the new kids on the block, and we fully recognize that. With #TheMakingOf our mural, we're here to listen, learn, and grow with our community as we heal and navigate this new normal together.
The What: a public art piece in the heart of LA, on Sunset Blvd.

Where: 3921 Sunset Blvd. in Silver Lake, Los Angeles
What: A 90’ x 32’ wall. Tia is open to covering the wall partially! The wall is not flat and has a 3D texture.
How: We'll be reviewing submissions until 3/19, at which point we will select an artist for the project. The paid project will be scoped with the goal to have the outdoor mural complete by 5/1. Send submissions to paloma@asktia.com .
The Ask: how can we collaborate with our community to make something that helps us heal?
Healing isn't something that just happens in a doctor's office - so we asked, how do we extend the Tia experience beyond our four walls and create something, together. We knew we had this space. We know we have a community of creators. Now the question is, who will help us bring our vision to life for LA, NY, and everywhere in between.
The Details: here's a peek at what we're looking for and how this process will work
