So, you say you want a mural?
STOP paying for graffiti abatement! Pay an artist instead.
Make your business an attraction!
Let us help you. We have a team of muralists ready and have several options for replacing graffiti with a vivid mural on your problem wall.
Option 1: Panel Mural – wood panel murals are easily removable to be displayed elsewhere, have a UV protective varnish and are easy to clean if tagged. Costs: $300 per 8’x8’ panel + the artist fee of $350-$1000.
Option 2: Wall murals – painted directly onto the building surface/wall. Costs: $500-$5000. (Requires City Permit)
You, the business owner, would have input and the final say in the design.
A mural on your business shows your support for public art and that that business is involved in the community, highlights your business as an attraction and creates a beautiful place to live and work. The arts bring people to our district and carries their adventures far and wide on social media. Alberta Art Works has a directory of local artist ready to hire for your project and we will facilitate the mural permitting process for you.
If your business is unable to find the funds for a completed mural project on your building, not to fear. AAW has a cue of interested businesses and as funds come in the next business on the list will have their mural commissioned. If you can afford half of the costs we can help find a matching sponsor needed to complete the project

Alberta Benchmarks Project
Local artists have painted 8 slatted wood benches along NE Alberta Street. The benches were part of a rejuvenation project in 2000 but have since been long forgotten and untended. Alberta Art works in conjunction with Portland Bureau of Transportation, has adopted the benches and has taken these eyesores and replaced them with utilitarian public works of art.
Sponsor a bench for $200 and your name, business name or dedication to will be painted onto the back side (sidewalk side) of the bench (2 slats at 1′ in length, enough for your name and address or website) in gratitude of your donation to making our neighborhood even more interesting and artistic.
Please go to the STORE to sponsor this or any of our creative projects.
