Do you work on community-involved or participatory mural projects?

Yes. Many roster artists scope a community-paint day or workshop component into the install — useful for press, engagement, and stewardship of the finished work.

How are public-review and permit processes handled?

We brief the artist on the review process and timeline up front. The artist delivers concepts at the resolution your committee, BID, or city review board needs.

Are the paint systems durable enough for public infrastructure?

Yes. Exterior and infrastructure projects use UV-stable acrylics with anti-graffiti clearcoats — typical lifespans run 8–12 years before significant refresh.

Can the project include local muralists?

When possible, yes. We default to locally-rooted muralists for civic and community work; out-of-market artists are only shortlisted when the brief specifically calls for them.
