ASU STUDENTS for UKRAINE
Ukrainian students at ASU are organizing a public mural project to honor the bravery and sacrifice of their communities back home. We appreciate your support to help us provide all the necessary paint and supplies for their efforts.

Phoenix Mural Project started as a digital archive of the city’s ephemeral world of muralism—see lots of images, plus more than 700 points on our map at
phoenixmurals.com. While Phoenix has had an active mural-painting scene for many years, it hasn’t been well-documented or studied. Indeed, outside Arizona, Phoenix often goes unnoticed as a hub of arts + culture. Due to this isolation, local artists created a visual style different from other “art cities.”
The project’s multi-faceted nature offers many avenues for audience engagement—website, maps, images, interviews, documentary film, exhibition, tours, and public interaction with artists. This is a resource for residents, visitors, scholars. It preserves art, collects stories, and celebrates grass-roots street art culture, and improves the national and international visibility of Phoenix as a world-class creative city.
CURRENT INITIATIVES:
- Students for Ukraine: Ukrainian students at ASU are organizing a public mural project to honor the bravery and sacrifice of their communities back home.
- Maps: We’re constantly chasing new murals and updating our extensive map of local street art HERE. It features over 700 artworks throughout the City of Phoenix and has been visited over 50,000 times.
- AZ Murals Passport: We’re working on building Augmented Reality content featuring local street artists. When visitors approach selected murals in the city, they can use their phone to access enhanced content, interviews with artists, and expert interpretations.
- Mural Commissions: We also help facilitate mural patronage between private property owners and artists throughout the region. The 10% commission we receive is redirected to support our community-oriented projects (above).
