Are mural artists paid?

Absolutely! We award a stipend to each mural artist selected. Compensation is based on the artist’s experience and the size of the wall they are painting.

How are artists paired with mural walls?

We match artists with mural walls based on several factors, including how much input the owner would like to contribute to the design process, the style and artistic goals of the business and the size of the wall. We strive to place artists at locations where their style meshes well with the business and building.

Do building owners decide what the mural on their wall will look like?

No, but we do ask artists to work with the oranization or building owner to come up with a design that blends well with the artistic goals of the organization. Every building owner is different. Some owners give the artist total artistic freedom to design the mural (within Charity Mural guidelines). Others prefer more input on what the mural will look like. We encourage building owners to respect the artistic freedom and diversity of the artist throughout the design process. Building Owners do have to give final approval on the design before it goes to a local committee for review and approval.
