Brighten your neighborhood with art.
Garages for Good brings a local artist to your home to make a custom piece on your garage. By using your home for public art, you are facilitating a conversation about accessible art while directly supporting working artists and spreading art in your community.
20% of every work will be designated to fund a community mural donated to public schools, non-profits, or charities in Minnesota. When enough funds have been supplied, you'll be recognized as a supporter and be notified about projects happening from the fund. All supplies will be purchased from small businesses and local suppliers.
What will it look like?
Homeowners have a choice or choosing from a selection of pre-made designs or creating a custom design with the artist. All murals are one of a kind designs only, and will not be replicates of previous designs or work from other artists, unless rights to a design are purchased.
Starting rates are based off of the average time for installation on standard door sizes. All murals will be quoted based on budget, size, complexity of design, and supplies required.
