Welcome to the Oxford Mural Application, where creativity meets community expression. In November 2022, the Oxford Board of Commissioners adopted a forward-thinking initiative to allow murals within Oxford’s city limits, extending to the Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). This decision was made with a clear intent: to provide a canvas for artistic expression that not only enriches our city’s visual landscape but also serves the broader public interest.

Murals possess the unique ability to enhance community identity and create a profound sense of place, particularly when strategically placed for pedestrians to enjoy. Oxford recognizes that murals can be powerful tools for storytelling, cultural representation, and engagement with our vibrant community. When thoughtfully designed and thought-provoking, murals have the potential to become lasting landmarks that define our city’s character.

This initiative is not just about painting walls; it’s about fostering creativity, sparking conversations, and celebrating our unique identity. On this page, you’ll find valuable information on the Oxford Mural Application process, guidelines, and requirements. We invite artists, community groups, and property owners to explore the possibilities and join us in transforming our city into an open-air gallery of inspiration and imagination.

Together, we can continue to make Oxford a place where art thrives, expressions are celebrated, and our community’s identity shines through the vibrant colors of our murals. Let’s bring your artistic vision to life and make our city even more beautiful and welcoming for all.
