100+ Grand Rapids Murals Will add Color to Your Next Walk

Epic Street Artists are Creating Diverse Grand Rapids Murals

Grand Rapids has literally been painting the town with fun things to do, and that includes amazing murals to brighten our landscape.

For years, murals have been a tool used to breathe life into urban areas. Public art fosters community engagement and jump starts conversations – and we’re pretty sure you’ll want to join in.

Large scale murals adorning buildings, retaining walls, and even the pavement around West Michigan give us a whole host of free art and great photo ops.

Genius Loci by Kim Carlino – 36 McConnell St SW, Grand Rapids

*feature image is Seeking a Pleasant Peninsula! by Son!Visual.

While the city has several murals from Art Prizes past, local organizations like the now defunct Urban Institute for Contemporary Art (UICA), and West Michigan Center for Arts and Technology (WMCAT), with the support of Downtown Grand Rapids, Inc. (DGRI), have regularly brought in mural artists that challenge us to think about our surroundings in new ways.

We scoured the streets of West Michigan – from the city down to the big lake – to compile a map with 100+ murals for you to uncover the next time you need an art fix.

  5. Greetings! I would like to make an addition to the list as well. In Holland, there is a beautiful mural of the long-gone, yet beloved Windmill Gas Station in its former location 4 miles away from US31. on corner of 32nd and 64th/160th. Worth the drive!

    Dear Future Steph (or whomever else maybe updating this), please add the mural that is located at the The Other Way Fresh Market located on the western wall of 706 W Fulton. Designed by Pantry Director Cheri McClain-Beatty and then brought to life by a team of volunteers in September 2018.
