The City of Renton's Paint with Purpose initiative is a community-driven program designed to reduce graffiti and enhance public spaces by transforming them into vibrant works of art. By engaging property owners, businesses, and local artists, this initiative fosters community collaboration while beautifying the city.
The Paint with Purpose program provides an opportunity for property owners, and businesses to partner with the city and local artists to create murals in areas affected by graffiti. The goal is to convert defaced or high-risk properties into visually appealing and culturally significant spaces.
Public agencies, businesses, and property owners within Renton city limits who have experienced graffiti or are in high-risk areas.
Eligible properties: Public and private properties that have been vandalized or are prone to graffiti.
Property owners, businesses, or public agencies interested in a mural can easily fill out this form with your location, any past graffiti issues, and mural ideas. Please note that submitting the form does not guarantee your building will be selected, but the city will support you throughout the process.
