DC Looking to Replace Graffiti Tagged Walls with Free Murals

Thursday, March 13, 2014
DC Building Owners Invited to Respond to Call to Donate Wall Space for Original Murals

The Department of Public Works (DPW) is seeking wall donations for MuralsDC. A collaboration between DPW and the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, MuralsDC replaces tagged walls with original works of art. DPW will consider submissions for this free program that meet the following criteria:

  • Donated space must be for commercial use (cannot be a private residence) and located in the District of Columbia.
  • The program will consider concrete and brick surfaces only.
  • Owners must consent (via a signed Authorization and Release form) to donate wall space for at least one year and leave the mural intact for that year.
  • Donated space must be highly visible by vehicles and/or pedestrian traffic.

Property owners can download a MuralsDC Authorization and Release Form at www.dpw.dc.gov by selecting “Sanitation Services” in the left navigation menu, then “Litter and Graffiti Prevention” and then “MuralsDC”.
