A mural is a big painting, generally located on the side of a building or directly on an interior wall.

Walk-in hours for The Walls off Washington are 1pm to sunset, Wednesday through Saturday.

A mural is typically created with the permission of the building owner, while graffiti is usually made without permission. We recognize that both require incredible talent and that both are art forms.

We’d prefer it if you didn’t.

Yes you can, for your own personal use. Always tag the artist on any image you post of their work. For any commercial use, prior permissions are required. [email protected]

No you can’t!  Pretend you’re in a museum and ask yourself the same question…

The artists are invited to participate by our Curators! They then collaborate to arrive at a design that will land on the Walls.

That depends on the level of detail and how the artist chooses to work.  Some take a matter of days, some take weeks or longer!

The duration ranges from one year to at least five years.

Grand Center is St. Louis’s Arts District–we couldn’t think of a better home for the Walls than a neighborhood full of all types of art!

There’s plenty of street parking available! You can either pay at the kiosk or by downloading the ParkMobile app. Be certain if the parking space is at an angle you back in to ensure you will not be ticketed.

The Walls are generously supported by the Kranzberg Arts Foundation and other institutions that we partner with.  We believe that artwork is real work, so the artists are fairly compensated or supported depending on different circumstances.

You’re involved just by enjoying the artist’s work! You can also promote the artists by following them and the Walls on social media! This is also where you will find volunteer opportunities as they arise.

Possibly!  You can’t just walk in on your own and start one, but we may have opportunities for you to be involved. When those opportunities arise, we will post about them in our newsletter and our social media accounts. Give us a follow on Instagram to stay updated!

Feel free to send your question to [email protected]! We look forward to hearing from you.
