What is MuralWorks?

Murals, murals everywhere! ArtWorks and the Office of Mayor Mark Mallory have taken to beautifying Cincinnati by creating 28 murals since 2007 in 24 different Cincinnati neighborhoods!

ArtWorks invites every Cincinnati neighborhood to partner with MuralWorks to bring vibrant, exciting works of art to their community. The MuralWorks process engages residents, businesses, artists, and teens to work together to transform the City. Ultimately, ArtWorks seeks to bring a mural to every Cincinnati neighborhood.

In 2009, ArtWorks expanded MuralWorks to Covington in an effort to help beautify the entire Cincinnati region.

Through the MuralWorks program, ArtWorks will employ teenage and professional artists as well as work with community members to create murals. These murals will speak to the city's history, imagination, and aspirations, while acting as powerful agents of neighborhood transformation, civic pride, and identity. Blank walls throughout Cincinnati, Newport, and Covington will soon become colorful murals, telling many amazing stories, and MuralWorks is proud to help create them with your help!
