ARTS AND CULTURE
COMMERCIAL BUSINESS MURAL PROGRAM

A mural is defined as a large-scale artwork, painting or mosaic applied to or mounted directly to an exterior surface of a building, construction fence or other structure and that is visible to the public right -of -way. It is primary intent is to be artistic in nature, rather than purely information, creative signage or commercial signage. A mural shall not indicate or describe in narrative, the form of commercial activity that happens inside a building. All proposed murals containing and signage elements, will be redirected to apply to the Planning and Zoning Department. Priority will be given to District 8 based on the direction given from the HBCRA Board.
