Why Murals?

Placemaking through murals is a key aspect to the Alabama Mural Trail. Placemaking is a multi-faceted approach to the planning, design and management of public spaces. Placemaking capitalizes on a local community's assets, inspiration, and potential, with the intention of creating public spaces that promote people's health, happiness, and well-being.

Murals build a sense of community that drives travelers and locals alike to visit locations off the well-known tourist routes.

Public art can drive significant economic impact by attracting tourists who spend their dollars locally, as well as potential new residents and business investors looking for a dynamic new place to live.

Public art is a great way to bring people together by overcoming socioeconomic divisions, differences in physical abilities and language barriers.
