Bringing murals to Porvoo – one wall at a time.

Before this project can go any further, funding is required. This is the first step. 

The cost for one mural depends on various factors, such as the wall itself and the artist chosen. Other costs include paint and cherry-picker rental.

Once funding is acquired, the walls need to be selected. This will require permissions and discussions of course with relevant parties. 

We will not be touching any wall within the Old Town of Porvoo – this project is all about the "new town".

With funding and locations decided, a call for submissions can be promoted nationwide. 

Artists can submit their designs and budgets – and the entries will be judged by a small jury (for each wall).  

The designs that are chosen must be reflective of Porvoo, its people and culture. Ideally, we want all the murals to tell a story and to fit well into the location of the wall.
