About

 

GoodSpace Murals is a community-focused public art studio specializing in large-scale murals and mosaics.

Our mission is to create high quality, large scale community driven public art that seeds community ownership and agency in public spaces, uplifts women and community voices, and empowers youth while transforming walls into bridges for positive change and connection.

Each public artwork is created for the unique social context and physical landscape of its site. We aim to work in partnership with community organizations, community members and socially focused businesses to lend our community art skills to further your community’s vision through the creation of public art.

Based out of Minneapolis, MN, woman + mama owned, GoodSpace Murals has been traveling across the US activating walls and public spaces since 2016.

 

How We got started

 

GoodSpace Murals emerged from the community mural practice of owner Greta McLain. 

With the clear vision to include community hands in the public art process, I realized that it had to be a team effort, one that was not only about community art but also about community development, art as a tool to further the great community work already being done by so many community organizations, city governments and socially minded businesses.

 
 

How we work

We aim to:

— To continually look for ways to center community stories and neighborhood voices in the creation of large scale public art. 

— To create large-scale murals and fanciful public art to seed positive change and hope. 

— To nurture authentic community and artistic partnerships. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Kind Words

  • "Our experience with the Goodspace Mural team was one of the best things I have ever been a part of!

    The process of venturing out into the community to have conversations about pride, hope, inspirations, aspirations and connectedness got me in touch with segments of our population that were new to me and taught me how to be more engaged. The painting process was again, beyond expectations. Because of the polytab or parachute cloth technique we were able to enlist the help of hundreds of people of all ages in the art making experience. In turn, they have ownership of this beautiful mural. The processes introduced by the Goodspace Mural team have changed how we will approach public art going forward. "
