MORE ABOUT THE MURALS OF DOWNTOWN MELBOURNE

At Melbourne Main Street, we believe that public art is an essential component of community revitalization, and we are honored to have taken part in the Melbourne Mural Project. Through this revitalization project, we engaged the creative sector to help us achieve our goal of beautifying the Downtown community.

The result was so beautiful that, even though this project has concluded, our vision for creating The Murals of Downtown Melbourne is only beginning.

Today there are 16 distinctive murals in Downtown Melbourne that line the outsides of shops, draw in visitors, and help reflect (as well as contribute to) Downtown’s distinctive overall vibe. So much like Downtown Melbourne itself, our murals will continue to grow and expand as dynamically and colorfully as we do.

In addition to our talented local featured artists, we’d like to thank Richard’s Paint, who was the official paint sponsor of the Melbourne Main Street Murals project.
