Community Mural Toolkit

Community Mural Toolkit

$0.00

This guide offers an introduction to the nuts and bolts of community mural-making and an invitation to consider and explore your community’s goal for creating community art. In this toolkit, you will find:

• community benefits of murals

• material, site and space needs

• community engagement strategies

• a sample budget

• potential funding strategies

• evaluation methods

• project examples

This PDF aims to show that community art is so much more than the final product itself: the art-making process can aid in building bridges between diverse groups and add to building stronger communities wherever you live.

For even more support, purchase the Community Mural Workbook from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach publication. I created the 85-page Workbook to provide in-depth guidance and step-by-step support for your community mural project. Each section allows space for brainstorming and notes, contact information, and relevant websites. You will find a handy flowchart visually maps out the mural process, as well as a variety of resources to assist you as you get started.
