Mini-murals


The City of Houston has a program which selects artists to paint murals on traffic signal control cabinets.

This program has led to many beautiful murals all across Houston!

These murals can be found in the Central Southwest, the East End, The Heights, Montrose, Acres Homes, Gulfton, Near Northside, The Second Ward and the Third Ward.

Mayor Sylvester Turner said “Mini-murals are a fun and creative method the city is using to add more art to Houston’s many thriving communities. This program showcases our artists, reflects our history and creates opportunities to enjoy creative expression in places people pass by every day.”

A total of 551 artists submitted qualifications to paint the murals. A panel of art experts, community stakeholders, artists and city representatives reviewed submissions and selected the winners. The murals will help beautify our city and I am happy we have begun this program.
