The Public Art Maintenance Microgrant provides funding to help artists restore and protect existing public murals. Applicants may request up to $1,000 for materials needed for repairs or protective coatings, whether a mural has been defaced or requires routine maintenance.

This grant supports artists and property owners working together to care for murals that have deteriorated over time. Awards range from $250 to $1,000 and may be used for services such as power washing, cleaning, and related maintenance efforts.

Who Can Apply?
Eligible applicants include artists with publicly visible murals in Long Beach, original artists restoring their own work, and artists who have received permission to restore an existing mural. Proposed projects must preserve the original mural design.
