The Downtown Tracy Mural Project began in the summer of 2015 in conjunction with the Tracy Artwalk.
The Project invites local and regional artists to create murals and street art at 7th Street and in Jackson Alley on the walls of the Grand. This innovative project features temporary murals owned by the City of Tracy. They remain on display from weeks to years, rotating as new works are presented. The public appreciation of these projects has led to futhur interest to create murals at other locations in downtown Tracy.
Several themes have been explored in a variety of media, ranging from spray paint to wheatpaste, energizing the streetscape and celebrating the arts in our community. We are open to any ideas which add interest and excitement to the downtown district!
Artists and creative collectives are invited to submit proposals on-going. Proposals and project creation is managed the Cultural Arts Manager who is available to assist artists through the process. Proposals are kept on file and remain the property of the City of Tracy. Selected artists will be contacted to participate in current and future opportunities, and invited artists will be compensated for time and materials.
