MURAL QUALIFICATIONS
This website only features outdoor murals, as it would be too impractical to include both indoor and outdoor murals. I do not include murals whose primary purposes are to advertise products or businesses. I will include, however, murals that focus less on the product or business and more on images that beautify and unite the neighborhood. I do not have a formal system in place for determining if a mural is more “community focused” or “business focused,” and the decision is solely at my discretion; but my general rule of thumb is that if 30% or less of the mural is about promoting a product or business, the mural qualifies to be on the Map.
Regarding graffiti murals, they can be considered for the map if they meet 3 qualifications: 1) they were made without malicious intentions, 2) they were made for the benefit of the community around it, and 3) the person(s) who painted it received permission to do so from the owner of the building.
