2025 MURAL GRANT APPLICATIONS

About Our Mural Grant

We donate our time, labor and supplies to work with organizations on designing and installing a custom public art postcard mural in our iconic large letter style.  Our commitment to a true piece of community public art means that we will be working directly with locals on relevant imagery to incorporate within the mural.  For a detailed breakdown of what is included for the winning organization, please read our grant terms & policy.

Our artwork has been proven to serve as a form of place making to help increase visitor traffic as a future destination. You can see a snapshot of some statistics of how our project has helped with tourism and increasing local business revenue.

 

Eligible States:

Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia, Wyoming & Misc. US Territories.

*You can still request a commission if your state is not eligible for grant.


PAST RECIPIENT (2022-2023)

Special thanks to our partner Chase for helping us bring public art to the community of Downtown Bend, OR. We want to officially congratulate the city of Bend, Oregon as the winner of our 2022 Grant! Thank you to all who applied for the grant. It was a tough decision, but we narrowed down our final choices based on this selection criteria.

“We are incredibly excited about this partnership,” says Mindy Aisling, Executive Director of the Downtown Bend Business Association, “Tourism is the catalyst that transformed our community when we set aside the historic resource extraction trades, and we rely on it to this day for the well-being of our Bend residents. This mural will directly impact the draw to visit our historic downtown and it will help our small business community thrive for years to come.” Source: Downtown Bend
