An ever evolving outdoor gallery.
Peoria Mural Garden
Located in the arts district of downtown Peoria, the Peoria Mural Garden is an evolving outdoor gallery featuring original murals created by local and regional artists.
Created in partnership with The Monastery AZ and supported in part by an Arts & Culture grant from the City of Peoria, the Mural Garden transforms a once empty outdoor space into a newly revitalize place for art, gathering, discovery, and community connection.
Throughout the 2nd Saturdays season, visitors can experience new artwork, meet participating artists, watch new murals come to life, and engage with opportunities that bring the creative process out of the studio and into the community.
Art in real time.
One of the things that makes the Mural Garden different is that the creative process is part of the experience.
During Peoria's 2nd Saturdays events, artists paint live in the garden, giving visitors an opportunity to watch a mural develop from beginning to end.
Some projects may also invite visitors to contribute directly to the artwork through guided community painting or other interactive experiences.
You do not have to know anything about art to participate.
Come watch. Ask questions. Meet an artist. Pick up a brush when invited. See what is being created.
Visit Anytime.
The art does not disappear when 2nd Saturdays ends.
While Peoria's 2nd Saturdays is one of the best times to experience the Mural Garden coming to life, the space is designed to be enjoyed beyond event nights.
The Peoria Mural Garden is a free, outdoor public art space that remains accessible throughout the month, giving residents, downtown visitors, families, and passersby the opportunity to experience the murals on their own schedule.
Stop by while exploring downtown Peoria and return throughout the season to see how the garden changes as new artists and artwork are introduced.
Peoria Mural Garden is located near 83rd Avenue and Jefferson Street in the arts district of downtown Peoria, just behind the Monastery AZ
