Mural services
Murals for new construction and renovation.
We partner early with developers, owners and brands to plan, commission and install site-specific murals, from first wall survey to final walkthrough.

What we do
One team from the first wall survey to the final walkthrough.
We are not an art gallery, and not a typical art consultancy. ATP.art provides art services and solutions for new construction and renovation in the commercial market, and we are most useful when we are brought in early.
Curation and artist selection
We research and present artists matched to your building, your brand and the neighborhood, often from the local community. You choose.
Production and installation
Contracts, permits, insurance, lifts, surface prep and protective coatings. We coordinate with your construction or property team so the wall is one less thing to manage.
Documentation
Our media team photographs and films the work in progress and the finished wall, ready for leasing and marketing.

Process
How a mural project runs.
Six stages and one point of contact. During installation you get progress photos every two weeks.
- 01
Discovery
We learn the building, the audience and the story the wall should tell.
- 02
Artist lookbooks
We present a shortlist of artists matched to the project. You pick who you want to see concepts from.
- 03
Concept delivery
A site-specific mockup with mural dimensions, materials, timeline and a cost estimate.
- 04
Concept revisions
We refine the design with you and your stakeholders until it is approved.
- 05
Final concept and logistics
Approved artwork, contracts, permits, insurance and equipment are confirmed and scheduled.
- 06
Installation and handover
The artist paints on site. You get progress photos along the way, then care guidance and final documentation.
Painting is often the shortest stage. Artist selection, concept design and approvals usually take longer, so the earlier we start, the more room there is in your schedule.
How much does a commercial mural cost?
It depends on wall size, surface condition, access and how complex the design is. Budgets cover the artist fee, design, surface prep, equipment, permits and protective coatings. You get a detailed estimate with the concept.
How long does a mural take?
Painting is usually the shortest part. Artist selection, concept design and approvals take longer, and exterior walls that need city review take longer still. The earlier we start, the more room there is in the schedule.
When should we bring you in?
As early as you can. On new construction, joining during design lets us plan wall locations, surfaces, lighting and budget before the walls are built.
How do you choose the artist?
We research and present a lookbook of artists matched to your building, your brand and the neighborhood. We often look to artists from the local community. You make the final choice.
Do you handle permits and approvals?
Yes. Requirements vary by city, and some exterior murals need design review or an application filed well ahead of installation. We coordinate the permits, reviews and paperwork the city or landlord requires.
What about insurance, lifts and site safety?
We coordinate certificates of insurance, lift and scaffold rentals, and on-site scheduling with your construction or property team.
How long will an exterior mural last, and how is it protected?
We specify exterior-grade paints and UV-resistant, anti-graffiti clear coats suited to the surface and climate. At handover you get care and maintenance guidance.
Who owns the mural, and can we remove it later?
You own the physical work. Federal law, the Visual Artists Rights Act, gives artists certain rights in murals, so our contracts cover waivers, future removal and your right to use images of the mural in marketing.
Can residents or employees take part?
Yes. Residents, employees and neighbors can help shape the brief, and we can run a local open call for artists, as we did for Montgomery Gateway in Jersey City.
Is there a lower-cost option?
Yes. Custom printed wallcoverings give a mural-scale result at a lower cost. They suit interiors, tight timelines and phased budgets.
