PUBLIC ART FIELD TRIPS & PRIVATE GROUP EXPERIENCES
Discover how murals shape communities, reflect local identity and bring people together.
WALS creates customized public-art experiences for schools, families, organizations, private groups and workplace teams.
Through guided mural tours, conversations with professional artists, collaborative painting and behind-the-scenes learning, your group can explore how an idea grows into a public landmark and experience the power of creating together.
EXPERIENCE PUBLIC MURAL ART BEYOND THE WALL
Whether you are planning a field trip, family outing, community gathering or creative team-building experience, WALS can design an experience around your group.
Participants can learn how muralists develop ideas, enlarge designs, collaborate with others and transform blank spaces into meaningful works of public art. No previous art experience is required.
What Can A WALS Educational Experience Include?
MURAL TOURS
Explore finished murals and learn about the artists, stories and communities behind them.
MEET A PROFESSIONAL MURALIST
Hear directly from WALS founder and muralist Brandon Bell and other muralists about the creative process, building an art business and what it takes to produce professional mural projects.
COLLABORATIVE PAINTING
Give your group the opportunity to create together through a guided art or mural experience. WALS can develop an activity that fits your group’s interests, abilities and goals.
BEHIND THE SCENES
Discover how a large-scale public-art project moves from an initial idea to a finished landmark.
BUILT AROUND
YOUR GROUP
Every WALS experience is different.
Programming can be customized around your group size, ages, interests, goals, schedule and preferred location. Experiences may take place in Downtown Salisbury, at the WALS creative space or, depending on the project, at your school, workplace or organization.
CREATIVE EXPERIENCES FOR TEAMS & ORGANIZATIONS
Step outside the typical team outing and create something meaningful together.
WALS offers customized public-art experiences for businesses, nonprofit organizations, leadership teams, professional groups, and community partners. Your experience can include a guided mural tour, a behind-the-scenes conversation with a professional muralist, a hands-on creative workshop, or a private collaborative mural created by your group from start to finish.
These experiences can be designed around team connection, creative thinking, organizational values, community service, or simply giving people an opportunity to do something memorable together.
No previous art experience is required. We provide the guidance, materials, and creative structure needed to help everyone participate.
