Urban Canvas, the City of Eugene’s local mural program, strives to create a vibrant and dynamic public art community by providing opportunities for local artists.
Since its initial inception in 2017, the program has dramatically expanded in scope and now includes an artist roster of 100+ Lane County artists, ranging from those wishing to complete their first mural to seasoned muralists with several works around the community, as well as nationally and even internationally.
How Urban Canvas Works
Urban Canvas acts as the connector between artists and those commissioning visual art, including City of Eugene departments and divisions, local businesses and non-profits and even sometimes homeowners wishing to commission a mural on private property.
In addition to Urban Canvas projects, the roster is often shared with other wall owners wishing to source artists for other visual art opportunities.
