About the Mural Resource Project

Pennsylvania College of Art & Design, Central PA's only professional art college, has developed the Mural Resource Project in response to the community's interest in mural creation. Each year, the college receives hundreds of requests for help with, or execution of, murals. These requests come from individuals who want murals for their homes, community organizations wishing to beautify their neighborhoods, or developers who want to enhance a project. A good number of these projects never get off the ground due to the unanticipated complexity of a mural from both a financial and logistical standpoint. In addition, although this region is fortunate to have many artists, most have never had any experience with mural execution.

By creating the mural resource project, the college can serve as the community's resource, providing listings of local muralists, commercial painters who employ muralists and who do mural prep work, library resources, mural-related courses and workshops for artists, and links to funding sources and grant opportunities. For those in the community interested in being included in the resource listing, applications are available at the college.
