You could be the new spokesperson for New Haven’s mystery street artist — if you can pass the test.
Believe in People (BiP), the anonymous street artist who has made New Haven his open-air gallery over the last couple of years, announced Tuesday that he’s looking for a new communications manager.
BiP’s identity is a closely guarded secret. Aside from a single on-the-record interview and his Twitter account, BiP has communicated with the public only through an intermediary known as “Neils.”
In a Tuesday afternoon tweet, BiP announced that Neils is retiring, and that he’s looking for a replacement.
The following tweet, three minutes later, revealed how applicants can announce their interest in the position:
Neils’ responsibilities have included fielding press inquiries as well as coordinating property owner cooperation on some of BiP’s murals, including ones on Hull’s art supply store (pictured below) and, recently, at a lumber yard in West Haven.
Think you’ve got what it takes? Contact Neils.
