SUPPORT Mural Routes
Give a Gift
Help us continue to provide opportunities for mural artists to build their capacity and to bring community-engaged mural art to communities across Canada.
Your contribution can go to:
Specific mural projects
These can be current or future projects.
Community programs and professional development
Such as attending our mural symposium or participating in mural making workshops.
Mural maintenance
Such as the beloved Rainbow Tunnel mural in Toronto.
Where it’s needed most!
Most of the time we need financial support to keep the lights on and pay salaries (this means being available for artists when they need help with their projects). If you don’t have a specific project in mind, please consider choosing this option when making your donation.

At Mural Routes, we endeavour to meaningfully engage diverse communities throughout the planning and execution process of every mural project we undertake.
