Is talent enough to get mural commissions anymore?
Across the world, more and more mural projects are being won by companies with dedicated sales teams, marketing budgets and aggressive outreach strategies.
Meanwhile, many incredibly talented artists are left asking the same question:
"How do I get in front of the right clients?"
For years, Street Art Cities has been dedicated to documenting urban art and connecting artists, festivals, cities and communities around the world.
We've built long-lasting relationships with festivals like Yardworks (Glasgow), Street Art Boulogne-sur-Mer, Gulia Urbana (Calabria) and ALL CAPS (Rotterdam) helping strengthen the urban art ecosystem.
Today, verified artists on Street Art Cities already benefit from dedicated artist profiles, a direct contact button for commission enquiries, and visibility in our artist directory for our official city partners.
But we believe we can do more!
We don't believe the future should depend solely on who has the biggest marketing budget.
We believe artists deserve better tools to be discovered, showcase their work and connect directly with opportunities.
That's why we're starting a conversation.
Have you ever lost a mural commission to a larger company or agency? If so, why do you think they were chosen instead of you?
Your experiences will help us explore how Street Art Cities can continue evolving into a platform that not only documents urban art, but also empowers the artists who create it.
Let's build that future together.
