Rural Murals

Kansas Rural Murals

The Rural Murals grant will open this spring! Stay tuned for the application announcement. We will also host a webinar to share more details about the opportunity, the application process, and the duration of the grant.

The intent of the Kansas Rural Murals is to activate vacant and underused spaces through the arts to help bring together community members around the art, history, and culture of the community. 

This program provides funding for communities with populations of 15,000 or less (and counties with population 50,000 or less) to reinvigorate spaces by creating new murals or public art that incorporate the community’s history, culture, heritage, tourism, or other community led art piece. This mural and public art grant program is intended to support projects in rural communities that are immediately ready to begin work on their mural. Community engagement, location selection, site approvals, and muralist selection should be completed before application submission. 

Applications open April 3 and close May 16, 2025.
