Commissioning a mural in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 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 Philadelphia.
Muralist for hire in Philadelphia
Philadelphia is home to Mural Arts Philadelphia, the largest public art program in the United States, and the city has thousands of murals as a result — there's a high bar here for craft, and an audience that knows the difference between decoration and real public art.
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 Philadelphia location.
