Commissioning a mural in Kansas City, Missouri 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 Kansas City.
Muralist for hire in Kansas City
Kansas City's 18th & Vine Jazz District is one of the most historically significant jazz neighborhoods in the country, and its mural and public art scene — alongside the Crossroads Arts District — reflects that musical legacy directly.
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 Kansas City location.
