About the Project:
​
​​Starting in early 2026, MPAP will be creating a pop-up photo and recording booth partnering with Union Cab Cooperative of Madison. The community is invited to drive the design for this upcoming mural entitled, City Connections. Interested participants can sign up, free of charge, for these pop ups on Eventbrite to come and take photos with our photographer and then record sound clips with our on-site audio engineer. The project theme is intended to create conversation and connection. All are invited from across the city to come and be a part of this mural project!
​
Zaremba, a Madison-based painter, will find her inspiration in these community pop-ups sessions to steer her design. Participants to reflect on the theme of connection and share a short story, thought, or message about Madison life. The recorded audio clips will complement the mural which further connects our city. Individuals voice audio recordings will add an additional layer of meaning and art interaction. Zaremba is known for omitting specific figurative features and working in a vibrant color palette to create a diverse and inclusive mural expression.
​
The exhibition is free to view 365 days/ year, accessible from the street, and will be a semi-permanent installation on view at Union Cab.

About the Artist:
​
​​​​​​Amy Zaremba "was born and raised in Wisconsin and grew up exploring the lakes and forests of the Northwoods. She now calls Madison home, where she lives with her husband, Steve, their daughter, Josie, and dog, Lola. Amy holds a Bachelor’s degree in Studio Art and English Literature from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2005), as well as a J.D. from DePaul College of Law (2009). She is the owner and creative force behind Zaremba Art, LLC, where she specializes in murals, acrylic painting, and custom signage. Her murals vary widely in theme and technique but share a common intention: to brighten public spaces, spark reflection, and foster a sense of belonging. Some invite collective storytelling and celebrate shared histories, while others offer simple moments of joy and connection."
