How to Write a Mural Proposal Letter for Painting Murals and Street Art 

Detour, I’m digesting your vids about two a day. You’re one of two muralists that I access for process and business-related information. Thank you!

THANK YOU!! I was very overwhelmed at the thought of writing a proposal but this helped immensely!!!!!!!

Can you please go into detail on how to get funded and paid for your work? I really want to become a full-time artist, i appreciate you for sharing your knowledge with us man!

I legit look up to you in the same way I do Dali, Monet and Van Gogh. What you do is pure goals for me. I want to do what you are doing. You inspire others

for the longest ive been shown overly complicated systems or just proposals that just brag instead of these vital parts that confused me and made me feel like i couldn't make my own proposals but its really simple and i have had all the skills i needed to grow as an independent artist. thank you so so much for this really easy breakdown u have no idea what u just unlocked in me im eternally grateful.

The way u brake it down in ur videos mad props....

How do you approach a paint supply company for sponsorship? I have pieces ready I just don't have a lot of materials.

Thanks Detour I needed this! Could you make one about applying to artist grants?

Thanks for the video! I'm an elementary art teacher and was told I could do a few murals in the new school building but need a proposal. They don't have any themes or any limits so it's a but overwhelming, any tips of how to narrow down a topic?

Good stuff Detour. Is there a way you as an artist can protect a(your) unique idea/concept for a project or mural in your proposal?

Yeah buddy!!! This is killer information. So helpful with what i am trying to do by attempting a beatification vandalism clean up on multiple businesses in a town where i live. Ive managed to help 1 business without any proposals by just asking but I’m finding out exactly what you were saying that every owner is different when it comes to the procedure of getting permission. So now the further up hill in the town i go, other owners are less accepting right off the bat. I think this professional approach will help out a lot. Quick question though, when you get sponsors to help fund areas of your project is that typically a local sponsor (i.e. supply store ect.) you established support from a sponsor beforehand? Sorry for the novel. Thank you for your time. Luke

Great info, thanks for your videos. So, are you not making a profit from your work most of the time if the project is self funded?

Hi..im just a beginner . Wondering in writing your proposal do I need to include my artwork right away with my proposal letter. thank you..I'm your new follower and learning a lot of things since I've watch your video. I don't have confidence and trying to develop it myself.

Hey detour , can you re upload the proposal template ?

thanks for the info! seems like bitly blocked the form is there anywhere else I can see the template at? Thanks!

Detour, I am the High school Art Teacher at Kokomo High School, IN. My students and I are exploring interior murals for our high school. I would love to connect with you in some way. Especially since your relevance to one of our mural artists here in Kokomo will catch students attention. is there an email or some way to reach you?

What if it’s for a park or any property that is owned by the city? How would I initiate the project?

Do you provide a full color rendering for the building owner’s approval?

do you have any templates for a cold email to a business about possibly painting a mural on their wall.? please help!
