Paint the Streets
Street murals are creative designs that promote traffic calming by contributing to a sense of place. Traffic calming is an important component of the City’s Vision Zero program, which is a strategy to eliminate all traffic-related deaths and serious injuries while simultaneously increasing safe, healthy, and equitable mobility for everyone.
By converting parts of streets into public art installations, street murals also showcase the creativity and input of local artists and residents. Street murals take advantage of our most extensive public spaces—streets—to bring more art into daily life, fostering inclusive and vibrant communities.
The City of Cincinnati has established a process by which neighbors can come together to install a pavement mural project on their street. Please read the Guidelines (below) before submitting an application.
