In response to boarded-up businesses in Tacoma during COVID-19, Spaceworks has partnered with local organizations and businesses to create a rapid mural program.
These temporary murals, painted directly onto installed plywood panels, serve to 1) support local businesses, 2) reduce crime and unwanted graffiti, 3) provide income for local artists, and 4) offer civic hope and positive messaging.
Artists are commissioned at $75 per 4’x8′ panel. This program is made possible with support from The Downtown Tacoma Partnership, Tacoma Creates, and the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber.
