Discover public art murals featuring local artists
As you explore the streets of Sarasota County, you cannot help but feel you are surrounded by art. Art helps us share our thoughts, ideas and visions that we may not be able to articulate with words. When you look at a mural, you are looking at art. You are actively listening to the message of that artist, their dreams, and how they see the world.
Murals are public art. Not only do they beautify cities but they also build a sense of community by giving local artists a place where they can tell a story and by increasing the foot traffic in those locations. They are accessible to everyone at any time and inspire communities to share a sense of belonging, pride, and identity.
Many cities around the world have created mural programs with the goal of increasing tourism by making certain locations more attractive for tourists and residents alike. With Sarasota being a city built on arts, we couldn’t be happier to promote murals, showcase our local artists and their incredible artwork around the city, while bringing beautiful color to everyone’s day.
