Collaborative temporary tape-mural experiences
Draw a room-sized mural together using rolls of tape
Tape Art / Michael Townsend and Leah Smith
Tape Art commissions collaborative wall drawings for organizations, retreats and special events. Michael Townsend and Leah Smith guide participants in building temporary imagery directly with tape; their separate live-mural option lets an audience observe and ask questions. An actually viewed owned workshop photograph shows large tape-built figures across the room’s walls.
Current location note / listed area: Rhode Island professional base; organized-event installations by inquiry
Organizational-event inquiry, not a confirmed wedding or private-home party package. Confirm social-celebration suitability, group size, participant roles, design and image permissions, accessible working heights, venue consent, surface compatibility, removal responsibilities and dates. No damage-free removal, therapeutic benefit or fixed finished scale is promised. Rhode Island base is attributed to a July 2026 firsthand interview; reconfirm travel and current operating arrangements. Historical projects and projector products are not automatically included.
