ELIA and the Royal Crown Hotel in Brussels have signed an amazing agreement. Royal Crown Brussels is renovating its current hotel. Over 4.100 square meters of wall within the hotel rooms will be decorated with mural paintings. The paintings will be created by students, graduates and post graduates from the ELIA member institutions, from over 30 European countries. And you can be one of them!!!

Please read the below carefully before starting registration:
ELIA is responsible for the artistic and creative input of this project. The theme of the project is 'Bloom'. Students who will be selected have to create a mural painting according to this theme.

The dictionary defines the word ‘bloom’ as follows:

• the flower of a plant.
• flowers collectively: the bloom of the cherry tree.
• state of having the buds opened: The gardens are all in bloom.

but also in a less botanical way:

• to make bloom or cause to flourish: a happiness that blooms the cheek.
• to invest with lustre or beauty: an industry that blooms one's talents.
• to cause a cloudy area on (something shiny); dampen; chill: Their breath bloomed the frosty pane.

Please make sure that your proposal addresses the theme. In the registration area you will be asked to upload your previous work. Please note that you can upload a maximum of five images at least 2 of them need to show what you are planning to create in the hotel room . You can see an example of what the bed and wall look like by clicking here.

You will be staying in Brussels for a maximum of five days. Your travel and stay will be arranged for and won't cost you anything. Plus you will get a nice check of € 850,- after creating your artwork... Sounds like a deal? Register on line by clicking the link below NOW!

The project will end around November 2008 . You can register until that time. The sooner you register, the better of course...
