Historic Murals in Mission
A mural is an artist's painting or image which is located on the exterior wall of a building and does not promote commercial enterprise. Murals visually preserve the history of Mission by encouraging appropriate creation and placement of murals throughout the community. Murals beautify our community, promote economic development, and encourage residents and visitors to appreciate our unique culture and heritage.

The District of Mission fully supports the creation of murals that depict a local heritage theme. There are currently two approved historic murals in the downtown area.

In 2001 the Council appointed the Heritage Places branch of Mission District Historical Society to facilitate the creation of murals that depict our history. The Murals Sub-committee takes an active role in deciding which buildings should have historic murals, the content of the mural, selecting an artist, and fundraising to cover the costs.








If you would like to get involved with the Murals Sub-committee, please email us.

^{Of course, there are many other paintings on local buildings, schools, and places of business;
these are of interest to the public and create a bright and interesting image, but may not be historically accurate.}
