Commissioning a mural in Minneapolis, Minnesota 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 Minneapolis.
Muralist for hire in Minneapolis
Minneapolis has one of the most active community-mural traditions in the Midwest, particularly along the Lake Street corridor, where murals have become a way for neighborhoods to process history and assert identity.
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 Minneapolis location.
