Transforming Spaces, Strengthening Communities
Community projects are some of the most rewarding mural work we do — see the full portfolio.
At Blackbook Ink, we specialize in community murals that do more than beautify. They unite neighbourhoods, celebrate diversity, and spark meaningful conversations. As trusted public art creators, we transform blank walls into vibrant landmarks that reflect your community’s unique spirit.
Beyond traditional murals, we’re proud to serve the street art community with bold street art murals and collaborative street art project work that brings public spaces to life.
Murals turn blank walls into shared landmarks, reflecting the heart of a community. Whether honouring local history, amplifying cultural heritage, or addressing social themes, a well-designed mural fosters pride and sparks dialogue.
Celebrate Local Stories – From historical tributes to modern youth-led designs, murals amplify community voices
Strengthen Community Bonds – Collaborative creation builds ownership and connection among residents.
Revitalize Public Spaces – Proven to reduce vandalism while attracting visitors and supporting local businesses.
Every project we create is collaborative, site-specific, and purpose-driven.
We work closely with councils, schools, businesses, and neighbourhoods to ensure each mural resonates deeply:
Every community mural is priced individually based on scale, location and community involvement — see our mural cost guide for typical public art pricing, or explore our full range of mural services.

“The Rotary Club of Camden is pleased to support Brode. He was easy to deal with, patient and understanding and during a brief work-shop provided useful suggestions and ideas. His end product was outstanding and it has already received many favourable comments.

Community murals are priced individually based on wall size, location, complexity and the level of community involvement. As public-facing, larger-scale projects, most community murals fall into our $10,000–$50,000+ pricing tier – see our mural cost guide for a full breakdown.
Blackbook Ink works with councils, schools, community groups and businesses to deliver community murals that reflect local identity and support placemaking outcomes.

We don’t administer grants ourselves, but many of our community mural clients fund their project through government and council arts programs – see our guide to funding public art in Australia for current options and how to apply.
Timelines vary depending on wall size, stakeholder consultation and approvals. Most community murals move through onsite consultation, co-design workshops, painting and an official unveiling – get in touch for a timeline specific to your site.
