Community Mural Program
Building pride, storytelling, and creativity in Baldwin City.
Our Mission
Our community mural initiative uses public art to tell Baldwin City’s story, celebrate heritage, engage citizens of all ages, train local artists, and brighten downtown spaces. Every mural is built through community visioning and hands-on participation — creating artwork with Baldwin City, not just for it.
