Programs

Built for mural
collections. Designed
to last.

Public art systems were built to create, install, and celebrate — not to sustain. Anemos is the infrastructure that was always missing. We work with municipalities, mural festivals, universities, and corporate collections to steward what they've already built.

01
Stabilize
Re-fuse the paint layers to the substrate. Restore vibrancy. Stop the degradation process where it stands — without altering the work.
02
Protect
Apply a semi-sacrificial topcoat with UV absorption and anti-graffiti protection. Fully removable. Designed to be refreshed, not replaced.
03
Maintain
Return on schedule. Reassess. Refresh the protection before deterioration becomes visible. The cycle repeats. The work stays.
Municipal & legacy collections

Most cities don't know what they have. We help them find out.

City administrators change. Programs evolve. The murals stay — but the institutional knowledge of who painted them, when, and why often doesn't. A work that represents a significant cultural or historical moment can sit on a wall for years without anyone knowing its significance.

Anemos comes in as the informed party. We know the artists, the movements, the context. We've seen the murals in cities across the country. We can tell a city administrator that the fading wall on Fifth Street is the largest mural ever painted by a particular artist — and that it's worth protecting for that reason alone.

Once a city understands what it has, the case for stewardship makes itself. We assess the collection, identify what matters most, and bundle treatment into a single mobilization — so the investment is proportional and the logistics are manageable.

Let's talk about your collection →
Collection inventory
Know what you have — and what it means.
An on-site assessment of your mural collection with cultural and historical context. Not just surface condition — but significance. Who painted it. When. What it represents. What it's worth protecting and why.
Bundled treatment
One mobilization. Multiple murals.
Stabilization and protective treatment applied across your collection in a single visit. Scheduling, logistics, and artist coordination handled by Anemos. Every treated work is documented — condition before and after.
Artist coordination
The city leads. We support.
Before any treatment, the original artist is notified — by the city, with communication language and a documentation framework we provide. Preserving the artist's original intent is the foundation of everything we do.
Education & advocacy
Building awareness that lasts.
We encourage cities to request protective topcoats from artists at the time of commission — a simple step that dramatically extends a mural's life. The murals that will need the least intervention are the ones treated before they need it.
Mural Maintenance Program

The city's murals.
Managed over time.

For municipalities we've worked with, a Mural Maintenance Program is available. Anemos manages the schedule, tracks condition, and returns when it's time. It's offered after the first engagement — once we've seen the collection and you've seen how we work.

The program converts mural maintenance from a large, unpredictable expense into a managed, predictable system. Instead of reacting when murals show visible decline, the city stays ahead of it.

"We manage the lifespan of murals over time. We return before deterioration becomes visible."

How the cycle works
Year 0
Entry treatment — stabilization and protective system applied
Year 3
Scheduled light visit — inspection, surface refresh if needed
Year 7
Full maintenance reset — stabilization and protective reapplication
→
Cycle repeats. The work stays.
Condition tracking
You always know where things stand.
Every treated mural has a documented baseline. Condition is tracked over time — so the city has a record without having to maintain it themselves.
Managed schedule
We reach out. You don't have to track it.
We manage the maintenance calendar. When it's time for a visit or a protective refresh, we initiate. The city stays ahead without adding to its workload.
How to access it
Available after the first engagement.
The Mural Maintenance Program is offered after the first completed engagement. Once we've seen the collection and you've seen how we work, the conversation happens naturally.

A conversation puts all of this in perspective.

Twenty minutes is enough to understand whether your collection is a candidate and what a program would look like.

How an engagement works

From first contact to treated collection.

Every engagement follows the same sequence — adapted to the size and condition of your collection. Pricing follows assessment. No surprises.

01
Contact
A conversation first
We discuss your collection — size, condition, timeline, what you're hoping to achieve. No obligations. An honest read on whether and how we can help.
02
Assessment
On-site evaluation
We visit and assess each mural individually. A documented condition report is delivered with recommendations and priorities. Assessment fees are credited in full if treatment proceeds.
03
Treatment
Stabilization and protection
The full preservation system is applied. The city leads artist notification — we provide the language and documentation framework. Every treated mural is recorded.
04
Ongoing
Your call
Some clients want a single treatment. Others want a long-term maintenance relationship. The Mural Maintenance Program is available after the first engagement for those who want the cycle managed going forward.
Mural festivals
The Offering — Dallas, TX
The Offering Dallas, TX — 2024

Festivals create collections. Collections need a system.

Every year a mural festival runs, it adds to a growing body of public art — and to a growing maintenance liability. Most festival organizations have no plan for what happens to year two murals by year five. Anemos does.

We come in immediately after completion. We treat every new mural on site and can assess and treat prior-year murals in the same mobilization. Festivals that work with us don't just create murals — they protect them.

02Assessment and treatment of prior-year murals in the same visit
03Documented condition baseline for every treated mural
04Scheduled return visits for ongoing maintenance
05A permanent record — the festival always knows where its collection stands
Who we work with

Any organization with murals worth protecting.

Municipalities are the primary client — but the need isn't exclusive to cities. Wherever public art has been commissioned and left without a maintenance plan, we have a role.

Primary
Municipalities
Public art programs, cultural affairs departments, parks and recreation. Cities managing collections with no current maintenance system in place.
Primary
Mural festivals
Organizations producing multiple murals annually. We come in after the festival — protecting new work and treating prior years in the same visit.
Primary
Real estate & developers
Mixed-use developments, retail centers, hospitality groups. Murals activate spaces and signal quality — visual deterioration directly impacts perception and return.
Also a fit
Universities & campuses
Campus planning, art departments, student life. Murals tied to institutional identity — campuses cycle students every few years, but the work remains.
Also a fit
Corporate collections
Tech campuses, headquarters, office parks. High-visibility installations tied to brand and employee experience — worth protecting as the assets they are.
Also a fit
Nonprofits & institutions
Arts nonprofits, hospitals, museums with exterior works. Organizations that understand conservation — but whose murals fall outside traditional systems.
Not a fit
One-off private homeowners, very small murals with no long-term value, or works requiring full reconstruction or repainting. For murals beyond our scope, we maintain relationships with conservation specialists and are happy to refer.
Get started

Request a mural assessment.

Every engagement starts with a conversation and an on-site assessment — condition documentation, treatment recommendations, and program pricing tailored to your collection.

We work with municipal arts departments, public art organizations, mural festival organizers, corporate collections, universities, hospitals, and nonprofits.

Assessment fees are credited in full if a treatment program proceeds. We serve clients nationally and respond within two business days.

Thank you — we'll be in touch within two business days to discuss your assessment.
