Community Murals

Street Wise Community Mural Projects are commission-based projects that connect artists with local communities, organizations, and businesses. Each public art project amplifies community goals, culture, or social initiatives while empowering and employing artists. Projects often include elements of neighborhood or community engagement,  education, workshops, and community events.

Street Wise Arts acts as your guide and project administrator ensuring access to hundreds of artists, artist selection, budget, design process, contracting, and all project management. Email us for more info: hello@streetwisearts.org
