Mural Routes Information

Mural Routes is the only member-based not-for-profit arts service organization in Canada dedicated to the creation, development and promotion of public wall art. Our vision is to inspire the creation of extraordinary public wall art that serves as a catalyst for community building. WHAT WE DO We create, promote, educate, advise and link artists, organizations and others that are interested in the development of wall art. Mural Routes has become the primary advisor for communities engaged in producing public wall art in the Greater Toronto Area and beyond. Mural Projects: Since 1990 Mural Routes has worked with communities and artists to create over 50 murals across Toronto. Public Art Management: We provide expertise in the development and installation of public wall art projects. Commissions: We send job opportunities and public art calls to member artists, connecting them with local and international commissions and competitions. Learning/Mentorship: Since our founding we have trained over 250 mural artists and run 17 National Mural Sympsiums. In 2016 we brought our education programs together into our Mural Art Learning Institute (MURALI). Consulting: Mural Routes offers consultations, presentations, and guidance to help get public art projects off the ground. Networking: Through our online presence, membership, and MURALI programs, Mural Routes provides a hub where artists and communities can connect and share. Resources: Our website provides information and links for artists and administrators interested in mural creation. We have produced Mural Production: A Resource Handbook, a History of Mural Art CD, and a wealth of resource materials that are available to the public.
