Committee discusses long-term plan to transform buildings with permanent murals

Jul 9, 2026

Committee member Steve Fitzgerald proposed a milestone idea to transform 30 buildings with permanent murals for a future anniversary year, suggesting owner outreach, grant funding and potentially extending the festival to a week to accommodate larger installations.

The full story

Steve Fitzgerald presented a seed idea for a future milestone Mural Fest (potentially the 10th anniversary): instead of 30 panels, pursue 30 building-scale permanent murals. He suggested soliciting building owners in advance, pursuing grant funding including Main Street Society grants, and commissioning returning top artists. The committee reacted positively and agreed to revisit the concept during post-event planning.
