Murals can initiate change through public awareness, dialogue, and highlight a community’s identity
The Mural Program supports murals and other two-dimensional art throughout Vancouver. We support projects initiated by community groups, artists, businesses, and building owners.
The program includes:
- Providing resources and opportunities for community expression
- Helping communities improve their public space
- Supporting local and emerging artists
- Ensuring fair representation of various identities and style of artwork
- Deterring graffiti vandalism

Mural Support Program
The program can supply paint (up to $2,000) and help navigate the process. We can also prime the wall and provide an anti-graffiti coating.
If you are doing a mural on street pavement or a community mural, inquire through murals@vancouver.ca. Projects with high levels of engagement may be eligible for additional funding and support.

Graffiti vandalism often attracts more graffiti and should be dealt with quickly.
