About Community Murals Sacramento

Sacramento's Art in Public Places is pleased to announce the second round of Community Murals Sacramento, launching in 2027. 

Community Murals 1.0 took place in 2021-2022 and was a great success building communtiy pride and unity whlie providing real-life professional development training for the muralists of tomorrow.

After a hiatus (due in part to hard-fought battles for artists' rights - read more about AB456) we are making preparations for our next round of murals throughout Sacramento. Watch this space for updates or sign up for the Office of Arts and Culture Newsletter.

In 2021, the City’s Office of Arts and Culture commissioned local artists to create community-based murals in each of the City’s eight Council Districts. Funded by the City’s General Fund, the mural program was part of the City’s Creative Edge Plan to bring art and culture to Sacramento neighborhoods and communities.

Locations of the murals were decided with the input of the community and Council District’s office. The Community Murals program included community collaboration and input at all phases of the project. Each project included community engagement events and a planned community paint day where community members participated in painting a portion of the mural.
