Commissioning a mural in Detroit, Michigan works best as a real project: a clear design phase, a scoped wall, and a professional process from first sketch to final coat — not a spray-paint favor. Corey Barksdale is an Atlanta-based muralist and fine artist who takes on mural, live-painting, and public art commissions nationwide, including projects in Detroit.
Muralist for hire in Detroit
Detroit's Eastern Market district and the annual Murals in the Market festival have made the city one of the country's most active mural scenes, with large-scale work playing a visible role in the city's ongoing revival.
What working with Corey Barksdale looks like
Every project starts with a conversation about the wall, the site, and what the mural needs to do — tell a story, anchor a brand, activate a community space, or mark an event. From there, design concepts, a clear timeline, and a straightforward scope come before any paint goes up, so there are no surprises for you or your Detroit location.
