It has been a goal of ours to transform this image of what this art form has the power to do and also how beautiful it can be. What this shows is the opportunity to create constructive behavior using an art form that was previously associated with vandalism. A few of them went to fix the mural using this art-form, and the mural never got hit again. We call them "hit sites."įortunately, our network consists of many folks well-respected in the graffiti art community. While murals tend to decrease vandalism up to 95%, it still happens on walls that may be particularly territorial, which is often why you seem the same walls get tagged over and over.

One of my favorite murals is called “Life Is Full of Wonderment”, a beautiful nature backdrop created by Marcel Blanco and Noah Neighbor. Tell me a success story of how street art can change the face of vandalism. Art will become the default, not the exception, everywhere and always. Beautify is leading a renaissance. We will have the largest inventory of sponsors to run campaigns about their values and connect with local consumers through authenticity, experiences, and showing that they care.
We will be the largest street artist hub to browse and hire artists for the purpose of creating authentic art on exterior and interior walls, utility and traffic control boxes, lampposts, street furniture, or even someone’s shelving unit, chair, or garage door. What’s next for the future? How do you see your vision developing? In urban planning, this concept is called “placemaking.” Beautify is here to bring people back by creating experiences, both physical and digital. A mural can change the image of a business with technologies like QR codes, or other location and image recognition software, and transform the opportunities businesses have to promote themselves. We are creating inviting spaces people want to see, spend time at, and take photos and video in front of to share on social media and other channels.īefore the mural, many of these spaces were beige boxes. While there is plenty of research out there that shows this impact, our own research confirmed that the 40-50 murals alone on Lincoln Blvd drove up the streets average business revenue by 5 -10%, with some businesses receiving up to 50% increase. Our clients tell us constantly that without the mural, people would have never known they existed. How exactly does street art help businesses and communities? Aesthetic apathy is the status quo, and we’re here to change that. And boring, bland, or blighted facades are not what people want to see. From safety and economics, to wellbeing and community pride, art is a necessity, not a luxury, and it should be accessible for everyone.Ī major part of our mission is to get the world to realize that what they put on our streets is important for how a community feels and the way its businesses perform. The opportunity for revenue for communities, residents, tourists, businesses, and cities is huge. If you miss this week’s showing, there’s another coming in mid-July.Long public processes for art curation cost more to curate than the art itself, which results in few new pieces of art. We seem to have become complacent with an abundance of boring, bland, or neglected commercial properties and infrastructure.
