Urban Canvas Logo

Urban Canvas strives to create a vibrant and dynamic public art community in Eugene by providing opportunities for local artists to create murals and by serving as the liaison between local artists and local businesses.


Urban Canvas accepts artist portfolios and wall proposals from businesses on an ongoing basis.

  1. Artist Information

Urban Canvas accepts portfolios from artists of all experience levels, from the experienced muralist to the visual artist wanting to branch out into mural work.
