The goal of the Alabama Mural Trail is to provide the state of Alabama a sense of community, to drive economic impact, and to bring people together. By inventorying and promoting murals in all 67 of Alabama's counties, UACED hopes to encourage both locals and tourists to find someplace new and discover the beautiful art Alabama has to offer.
Placemaking through murals is a key aspect to the Alabama Mural Trail. Placemaking is a multi-faceted approach to the planning, design and management of public spaces. Placemaking capitalizes on a local community's assets, inspiration, and potential, with the intention of creating public spaces that promote people's health, happiness, and well-being.
Phase I of the Alabama Mural Trail is planned to launch this summer.

Murals build a sense of community that drives travelers and locals alike to visit locations off the well-known tourist routes.
Public art can drive significant economic impact by attracting tourists who spend their dollars locally, as well as potential new residents and business investors looking for a dynamic new place to live and work.
Public art is a great way to bring people together by overcoming socioeconomic divisions, differences in physical abilities and language barriers.

“If you want to learn about a city, look at its walls.” “Instagram has changed the way the Millennial generation travels and seeks out new places to explore; and, most importantly, how murals can be a relatively easy, quick and cost-effective way to improve a city’s aesthetic while injecting economic vitality into an area otherwise primed for tourism.” |

UACED wants to make sure all 67 of Alabama's counties are represented in the Alabama Mural Trail.
There are currently nine counties that have yet to be placed on the trail due to no submissions, incomplete submissions, or submissions that failed to meet the requirements (i.e. mural is too faded or elevated). We want to hear about your murals! If you live or work in one of these nine counties and know there's a great mural in your community, fill out the form below. |

Love Murals?Alabama already has many murals scattered across the state. Some groups, like Murals of Alabama, Trés, and Instagram influencer Viktoria Havasi @MagicCityMurals have graciously shared their content on murals throughout Alabama.
