Do you want to host a mural?
Murals are a beautiful way to welcome art into your space. Apply below.
Please give me as many details as you can about your site, ownership, wall (interior/exterior) and business that you can provide. I will be in contact as soon as possible to plan mural installation. This is a public art series going through 2026 with funding available to support a mural at your site.
why host a mural?
Local businesses can sponsor murals or advertise themselves as stops along the trail. This increases brand visibility and aligns them with a creative, community-focused initiative. Many businesses along the trail can offer promotions or discounts to those following the map, further incentivizing spending.
Creation of a “Must-See” Attraction
A well-publicized mural trail can become a must-see destination for art lovers, families, and cultural tourists, similar to how mural-rich cities like Wynwood in Miami attract thousands. This positions the city as a creative hub and art destination, drawing more visitors year-round.
Economic Multiplier Effect
The economic impact of a mural trail extends beyond immediate spending. Local artists are employed, and businesses in tourism (like hotels, transportation, and souvenir shops) benefit. The increase in tourism can also attract outside investment, leading to further development in local infrastructure.
Free Publicity
Social media is a powerful driver of tourism. Visitors love sharing photos of street art, which means murals can generate free publicity as people post pictures of the art and tag their location. This viral effect drives more visitors to the city and its businesses.
Generating Energy in Dull Spaces
Murals often go up in areas of a city that look drab. These projects transform dull, neglected walls into vibrant, eye-catching art, making the neighborhood more enjoyable especially for walking.
Support for Local Artists and the Creative Economy
A mural trail project creates jobs for local artists and helps establish the city as a supporter of the arts. This not only strengthens the creative economy but can also attract more creative professionals to live and work in the city, contributing to long-term cultural and economic growth.
This map project can potentially greatly enhance the tourism appeal of our cities, drive increased spending at local businesses, and create a cultural asset that both residents and visitors enjoy. It's an investment in the city’s creative identity that generates ripple effects across the economy.
