Arts Share and the Grant Wood Art Colony connect students across arts disciplines with communities in Iowa to create vibrant, engaging murals, installations, and more to celebrate local culture and draw attention to different projects and causes.
The Community Mural Toolkit
A 24-page, downloadable PDF that introduces the nuts and bolts of community mural-making and invites you to consider and explore your community’s goal of 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, and project examples.
