Murals create vibrant neighborhoods and contribute to a sense of identity. These large-scale public artworks are also opportunities to expand how we see the world and contribute to a greater sense of belonging for the entire community. From hyperrealism to surrealism, Eugene is proud to be the home of over 40 murals and counting. Take a look at what’s out there.
This initiative elevates emerging muralists by giving them their own wall to use as a canvas for two years, and for the artist to continually evolve the work over the entire period. Urban Canvas Info
