Embrace the Canvas of the City

The Living Mural Project

In the heart of our vibrant community lies an extraordinary canvas, ever-evolving, ever-inspiring—the Living Mural. This unique project invites the Artists of tomorrow to step forward and leave their mark on the grand stage of public Art. Every three months, the Living Mural offers a new surface, a new beginning, for those ready to embark on their first grand-scale creative venture.

Make your mark.

  • Dream it.

    This is more than just a wall; it's a rite of passage for emerging talents seeking to explore, express, and expand their Artistic horizons. Whether your medium is paint, mixed media, or something uniquely your own, the Living Mural stands as a testament to creativity, transformation, and the Collective spirit of Artistic exploration.

  • Paint it.

    We are calling on Artists who dream of larger canvases, who wish to see their visions come to life in vivid colors and bold strokes against the urban landscape. If you've never created a mural but have been longing for the chance, your opportunity awaits.

Current mural

Nestled in the courtyard patio of Petrichor Collective Studios, the “Petrichor” mural stands as a vibrant fusion of cultural heritage and Artistic expression.

Created by local artist Xavier Pereira, the mural draws inspiration from Xavier's Portuguese roots and his passion for nature, resulting in a captivating visual narrative.

Guided by unique spirit of the Petrichor Collective and the intricate designs of Portuguese azulejos, Xavier's mural combines structured tile patterns with organic shapes, reflecting the Collective's identity and ethos. Dominated by shades of Petrichor green, the mural features accents of pink, adding a touch of playfulness to the overall composition.

Through Xavier's skillful brushwork, the mural transforms the courtyard patio into a space where Art and nature intertwine, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty of both. As sunlight filters through the staircase, illuminating the mural's details, visitors are encouraged to immerse themselves in the serenity of Petrichor Collective's unique ambiance.
