Call for Artists: Lovejoy Pool

Arts Services Inc. (ASI), on behalf of former Assemblymember Monica Wallace and the East Lovejoy Coalition of Neighbors Block Club, Inc. (ELCON), invites experienced mural artists to submit proposals for a large-scale public mural at the Lovejoy Pool in Buffalo's historic Lovejoy neighborhood.

The Lovejoy Pool Iron Island Mural Project will transform the east-facing exterior wall of the pool building into a vibrant public artwork celebrating the neighborhood's rich railroad history and its longstanding identity as "Iron Island." The completed mural will serve as a highly visible landmark along the Lovejoy business corridor, welcoming residents and visitors while fostering pride, connection, and a stronger sense of place.

Artists are encouraged to create a bold, engaging design that honors the community's railroad heritage while reflecting themes of movement, connection, and neighborhood identity.
