About Us

The Brooklyn Emerging Mural Artist Coalition is seeking to create opportunities for first-time and emerging muralists throughout Brooklyn to make their mark in their communities, get exposure and build their portfolios. The public art scene can be difficult to break into for early-career artists, and accessing walls to paint on can be one of the greatest challenges for aspiring muralists. Many opportunities for public art installation, both permanent and temporary, are easier to access for artists that are already established and have the necessary support and connections to build their mural practice. BEMAC aspires to initiate mural installation programs that are exclusively for emerging artists that provide them with space on a wall, funds for supplies, networking opportunities, workshops and a permanent spot on a roster of artists that will be added to a mailing list featuring new opportunities. After our first successful installation, subsequent projects will feature an equal amount alumni artists and new participants.

BEMAC was founded in the Summer of 2022 and is steadily growing. We hope to expand and install murals all over Brooklyn in addition to offering additional support for our participating artists, such as workshops, professional development, photography and other resources.
