Welcome to JordanShackelford.com This summer was amazing, participated in tons of events, got to meet tons of great people, and everyday I was able to create Art. Here is a recap of a couple events were I was the featured Artist this Summer.

Upper Marlboro, MD –   Prince George’s County Art in Public Places program (APP) is partnering with CBS Radio/WPGC 95.5 FM for the “Transforming Neighborhoods Initiative Mural Contest.”  This contest is open to residents of the metropolitan Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC area. Qualifying contestants will have a chance to win a $1000 grand prize plus the opportunity to design and lead the creation of a new mural for Suitland Shopping Center located at the corner of Silver Hill Road and Suitland Road in Suitland, Maryland, one of Prince George’s County Executive Rushern L. Baker’s Transforming Neighborhoods Initiative (TNI) communities.  Interested artists can enter this contest at http://wpgc.cbslocal.com/community-mural-initiative/ . “Our Transforming Neighborhood Initiative is designed to have every government, non-profit, and private sector resource provide opportunities and methods of revitalization to these six focus communities  while improving public safety, education, health, and the local economy,” said Prince George’s County Executive Rushern L. Baker, III. “I want to thank CBS Radio, WPGC, the Prince George’s Community Federal Credit Union, and the Prince George’s County Health Department for working with the Art in Public Places program to provide this great opportunity for an artist and a new public art piece for the community to enjoy.” On Monday, October 1, up to 50 potential qualifiers will be chosen at random to submit an original artwork via email.  Representatives from the Prince George’s County’s Art in Public Places program and WPGC will judge and select one Grand Prize winner to create the mural.  The Grand Prize winner will receive guidelines, criteria, and materials for the mural creation and community participation. “WPGC is excited to be a part of something that not only gives a local area artist the chance to show off their creativity, but also allows us to be a part of the continued beautification of Prince George’s County,” said Jason Kidd, WPGC Program Director. In April, Prince George’s County Executive Rushern L. Baker, III announced his plan to improve the quality of life in vulnerable communities through the Transforming Neighborhoods Initiative (TNI). Focusing on six specific communities, the overarching goal of the TNI is to achieve and maintain a thriving economy, great schools, safe neighborhoods and high quality healthcare by utilizing cross-governmental resources in target neighborhoods that have significant and unique needs.  APP joined the effort, organizing public art projects to rejuvenate targeted locations throughout the County encouraging collaboration, providing creative platforms for artists and transforming neighborhoods.“When County Executive Baker announced the Transforming Neighborhoods Initiative, I immediately wanted Art in Public Places to be visibly involved,” said Samantha Vernon, Art in Public Places Program Administrator. “Public art is a vehicle for transformation. I’m thrilled to have the support of CBS Radio/WPGC 95.5, the Prince George’s Community Federal Credit Union and the Prince George’s County Health Department for this community mural.”This contest is sponsored by the Prince George’s Community Federal Credit Union and the Prince George’s County Health Department “I’m in This for Me “campaign.
