Special Projects

Murals are a starting point for an entire range of engagement processes and activities. These Special Projects help extend the life of a project and allow for continued engagement past the completion of a mural. In addition, many of these projects create pathways into topical and relevant issues associated with a specific community.

  • Screenings – CRP will host, facilitate, or co-facilitate a presentation of its own productions or other relevant media.
  • Presentations / Lecture – CRP staffers are available to speak on topics ranging from community murals to public art policy to the history of the aerosol movement in popular culture.
  • Mural Tours – Make arrangements today to have your group or organization taken on a guided tour of CRP murals in Oakland and the East Bay.
  • Block Parties – Celebrate art, creativity, music, and life with a cultural event, featuring live performance, music, live-painting, dance, and/or DJs.
  • Symposia – CRP will design and moderate a panel on a topic relevant to its organizational goals and mission. Past topics include best practices for equitable development, community resiliency and creativity in the face of displacement and gentrification, and the importance of community murals.
  • Exhibitions – CRP artists and staff will hang artworks and/or photographs at your venue or gallery and host opening/closing receptions.
  • Merchandise – Images from CRP productions can be printed on t-shirts, posters, coffee mugs and mousepads. In addition, original artwork can be created on a clothing item or piece of furniture!
