Community Mural 2026
New Mural Project to Begin this spring
Plans are underway for a new "Community Mural" to be painted downtown. Artists will be invited to submit designs, the community will vote on which one they would like, and then community members will be invited to paint it.
Theme
The theme for the mural is “Vinton Community Life – Past and Present: We welcome designs that depict or represent images from small town life in our community, including iconic and/or historical activities or circumstances. We hope the mural will inspire us to consider what it means to be a community, and what makes Vinton a special place to live.”
Call to Artists
Area artists are invited to submit a design for a new Community Mural to be painted by community members, under the supervision of the selected artist(s), on four 8 x 4 ACM panels during the spring/summer of 2026. Designs should be inspired by the theme of the new mural.. All proposals must follow the Requirements shown below. A VGFA committee will review the design proposals, select three designs to be posted in the newspapers, and the public will then be invited to vote for the mural design they most would like to see completed and installed on a downtown building. Supplies and a stipend will be provided to the artist. Deadline for submissions is projected to be about March 15.
