GBH invites community members to be an integral part of the Digital Mural’s programming. We are asking all interested artists, photographers, and members of our community to submit a photo or artwork (your "Work") which, if selected by GBH, may be featured on the Digital Mural during one single day, likely from 2-6pm.
Embedded in the exterior wall of GBH Studios is a Boston landmark: a 30 feet
by 45 feet Digital Mural overlooking the Mass Turnpike. Designed to inform
our community and brighten the ride for commuters, the Mural’s images
inspire curiosity and reflect the content and values of public media. At night,
it reverts to a tranquil image of the evening sky.
Your submission will be reviewed by GBH and by submitting your Work for
consideration, there is no guarantee that it will be accepted for display on the Digital Mural. You will be contacted by GBH if your Work will be used.
Please submit this form for consideration by GBH of your artwork/photography. We can’t wait to see your work!
