How We Work With Sponsoring Institutions

The Completed Ceramic Murals and Ceramic Mural Display
The ceramic murals are composed of many individual ceramic tiles, carefully combined and composed to find a harmonious layout that best serves each individual component and a cohesive whole.
Mural Mural on the Walls has created a framed mounting that can be transported, mounted, removed and repaired.
Mural Mural on the Walls meets with building staff and other departmental entities to sound out their interests. Multiple departments may each have their own concerns.
Safety concerns are addressed, and Mural Mural on the Walls works with the institutional architect to insure that the completed murals are structurally sound and will not damage interior or exterior walls.
The display space should be a venue that is accessible and directly used by the local community, available for all demographics to visit and see the site. Care is taken to pick an area where pieces are protected from damage.
All ceramic tiles are safe-to-touch, durable and water resistant. Ceramic tiles are color-fast and will not fade due to sunlight. We use lead-free glazes and products. No dangerous chemistry is involved either in the process of making the pieces or installing the pieces.
