Murals in the Community

Murals in the Community

Transforming Spaces, Inspiring Communities

Our Murals Program unites muralists, schools, community organizations, local businesses, and government agencies to create immersive, large-scale public art projects that transform spaces and inspire communities.

Through this program in the schools, talented muralists empower young people, energize communities, and provide valuable professional development opportunities for local artists. Many of our projects focus on themes that foster community connection and promote the stewardship of local resources.

For more information about our murals program, please email Alejandra Ramirez, Programs Director, at alejandra(at)arts4mc.org.

Keep an eye out for these murals across Monterey County.

Do You Know of a Local Mural?

We’re gathering mural locations and using the Art Tours Monterey County mobile app as a convenient tool to share this tour with our community.

If you know of a mural in Monterey County, please share the location with us at bit.ly/murals25. Let’s celebrate the vibrant art that makes our community shine!

Bring Your Walls to Life with Local Art!

Public art has the power to transform neighborhoods, and a custom mural turns your blank wall into a community landmark. We take your vision, pair you with a talented local artist, and oversee the entire mural process. Read about one such mural HERE.
