Department of Public Words/Jiffy Lube Partnership
Call to Artists
Project Overview
This project is a partnership between DPWords and Jiffy Lube, focusing on the theme: Every Part Matters. They will be creating murals on one wall of six Jiffy Lube buildings. Artist’s designs will be chosen and DPWords will coordinate and facilitate the murals.
This is an opportunity to showcase local artists’ designs, beautify the communities with original public art murals where the Jiffy Lube locations exist and encourage viewers through positive words and images while expressing DPWords’ mission and Jiffy Lube’s programming: Growing People Through Work.
DPWords mission is “Positive words empowering people through art and education.” – They use the power of positive words to build, sustain, and empower community through strategic arts partnerships, mentorships, events, and education.
Growing People Through Work provides people a chance to build better lives for themselves. One of the most important parts of this program is the use of the industry's only Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certified training system to teach people skills they can use to further their career at Jiffy Lube, or even in a different organization. Discipline, time management and integrity are just a few of the program’s key components.
