Commissioning a mural in New York, New York 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 New York.
Muralist for hire in New York
New York is a global epicenter for street art and murals, from the Bushwick Collective in Brooklyn to Harlem's enduring legacy as the heart of the Harlem Renaissance — a history that speaks directly to work rooted in Black art, culture, and storytelling.
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 New York location.
