314. Tips for Applying to Mural Festivals with Peachzz (Megan Russell‪)‬ Artist Academy

This week’s episode features international street artist Peachzz (aka Megan Russell). You’ll hear Megan tell her story of how she got started with murals (using spray paint) with a theme of birds and wildlife. Her style evolved into also painting the human form, and fast forward to today with one that blends into both human and nature.

Megan got her start by applying to mural/street art festivals and shares with us her tips on how to put your best foot forward when sending in an application. She has a template that she uses and, in this interview, goes over it page by page to give you a better idea of what kind of effort is needed to land these high-competition jobs.

Megan inspires me to create more of what I want to create, as opposed to just leaning into commissioned work, and apply for bigger opportunities. I think every artist will get something from this interview, no matter if you’re a muralist or not. Let me know what you think of this week’s episode with Peachzz (Megan Russell).Mural Pricing Training: www.artistacademy.co/pricingguideMural Supply List: www.artistacademy.co/supply Join us for a Mural Meetup: www.artistacademy.co/meetup
