Austin Mural Guide : Your Guide to Austin's Most Colorful Walls

Austin Mural Guide

It’s here, it’s here, it’s here! Yes, we are giddy with excitement to bring you our Austin Mural Guide – the most comprehensive guide you’ll find anywhere to Austin’s most colorful and vibrant walls.

A little background… As you may know, our wall guides have become our cornerstone resources around here. When we were considering where to take our colorful explorations next, Austin made perfect sense! The city is certainly a colorful art-loving city. Plus, in some ways, Austin is a second home to me. Not only did I go to college there (hook em!), but even now I journey back to Austin about once a month for a mix of business and personal and college of engineering work.

We have been working long and hard on our Austin Mural Guide. In fact, this has been a work in progress for almost two years. We’ve taken multiple road trips back and forth from Houston to Austin to curate all these images and locations and such for you.

So, it is with great pleasure that we are publishing this today for your enjoying! This guide is filled with over 80 of Austin’s most vibrant, colorful murals. Yes, that’s right – over 80! 84, to be exact. And we plan to update this continually as the city’s mural scene evolves and changes.

Now, here’s what you can expect from our mural guide… Along with photos of each mural, you’ll find the exact address, the artist’s information (where available) and any important pieces of information about the mural. As well, you’ll find a map at the bottom so you can easily locate each one. Note that we are always keen to credit the artists who create these beautiful public works of art. If you know who to credit for any that are missing artist credit, please let us know.

We hope you enjoy this guide as much as we’ve enjoyed putting it together for you. Please share and pass along to any of your color loving friends!
