Murals in Motion Program
|

Murals in Motion is Allston Main Street's newest program that will partner small business owners with local artists, coordinate the design and painting process and partially to fully subsidize the storefront murals for businesses. Thanks to the Massachusetts
Cultural Council grant through Representative Kevin Honan, we will be able to pay for 100% of murals up to $2,000. Prices depend on the size of the mural.
