We pair local artists with non-profits and businesses to create murals in their spaces – murals that impact and raise awareness to issues in our community.

The murals of Central Wisconsin are more than just artistic expressions; they are catalysts for community engagement and pride. Public art projects encourage residents to participate in the creation process, fostering a sense of ownership and unity. These murals become landmarks and points of interest, drawing visitors and supporting local businesses.

Submit Interest Form

We meet with a Board of Directors who decides on the next projects as a group. We'll take your interest form answers to our next board monthly board meeting and if you're approved, we'll start the process!

Start Planning Mural Style

As we grow our collective of artists, you maybe drawn to a specific style an artist has OR you may want your mural to be painted by the community in which a designer will create the piece to be easy paint-by-number.

We'll make a plan and schedule

If funded, we'll schedule your mural. Outdoor murals are done in JULY, AUGUST, OR SEPTEMBER. Indoor murals are done NOVEMBER, JANUARY, OR MARCH. If you are a non-profit and don't have funds, we'll work on grant writing and fundraising for you.
