Murals in Downtown Mesa's Arts and Culture District

Make the mural permitting process more simple and affordable for our community members and business owners.

Why is this important?

Art Installations are an integral part of a growing city's infrastructure. They create wonder, excitement and foster a better sense of community. Downtown Mesa is a growing hub of arts and culture, however, the streetscapes on Main Street and surrounding areas do not portray the direction in which the district is moving.

As of right now, the permitting process for a mural in Mesa is very expensive with long wait times for approval. We would like to simplify this process with a smaller processing fee to allow for more creative art expression in the Arts and Culture District, specifically Main Street and the blocks around it.
