Commissioning a mural in Durham, North Carolina 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 and around Durham.

Cities across the Southeast have leaned into murals over the past decade as an affordable way to add color, character, and a genuine sense of place to downtown business districts, and Durham fits that same trend.
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 Durham location.
