COMMERCIAL MURALS

RiseUP for Arts can help turn a wall inside or outside your business into a focal point that turns heads and attracts customers. We listen to the client's vision and match the project with professional artists that can execute the artwork at the highest level. We support the design, permitting, execution, and marketing of the mural for your business.

COMMUNITY PUBLIC ART MURALS

RiseUP for Arts supports nonprofits, community groups, schools, cities, and towns to organize large-scale public art projects throughout their community. Public Art and murals are critical to bringing positivity to a neighborhood and they can change the way people perceive a particular community.

INDIVIDUAL COMMISSIONS

RiseUP for Arts artists are available for individual commission projects for you or your family. Our artists have a wide range of techniques and styles that can be customized to your project need.


Whether it is your daughter's bedroom that can be turned into a Princess Wonderland or having a pair of sneakers customized with an original design, we can make it happen.
