Mural maintenance
is the missing link.

Cities have capital budgets and facilities budgets. There's no line for mural maintenance, because the category hasn't existed yet. Anemos is that category.

A city's murals are a collection, and keeping that collection alive is our sole job.

A commissioned mural is the city's work, visible to thousands of people a day, expected to stand for twenty years or more. It deserves the care a sculpture would get, and when it gets that care, a legacy mural moves into the category of permanent public art.

Most cities have never had a path for that care. Programs close, staff turns over, and the institutional knowledge of who painted what and why moves on with them. The murals stay on the walls, and the walls keep aging without anyone to tend to them.

Anemos is the missing piece: a working relationship that keeps a mural collection alive across the years it's meant to live.

What we do

How we can help.

Every engagement starts with a conversation, and the next steps depend on the collection.

Advisory
We offer help thinking through how to specify protection on new commissions, how to add a maintenance line to a budget cycle, and how to talk to artists about the care of their work. The conversation doesn't always end in a treatment.
Assessment
A documented read of each mural tells us about surface conditions, substrate, exposure and treatment history. This is the part that makes everything else possible, and the earlier it happens, the more options remain.
Treatment
Treatment is applied to an existing mural, or to a new one at the end of painting. This includes cleaning, consolidation to stabilize the paint, and a semi-sacrificial protective coating to leave the original work exactly as painted.
Documentation
Every treated mural is kept on record, including location, condition, treatment history, and what comes next. The purpose is to create a traceable document that outlasts the people commissioning the work.
Who we work with

If you have murals worth protecting, we can work with you.

Municipalities
Long-term preservation at the collection level is our strength, which includes cities and public art programs managing murals in public or private spaces.
Mural festivals
Organizations producing annual or recurring mural programs can enter a treatment and preservation cycle right at the onset. The earlier, the better!
Universities & campuses
Murals tied to institutional identity and history, indoors or outdoors, can now outlast any single class or administration.
Real estate & developers
Mixed-use developments, retail centers, hospitality groups, or anywhere a commissioned mural shapes how a space feels.
Corporate collections
Companies with murals in offices, campuses, or public-facing spaces where condition and presentation reflects on the brand.
Arts organizations & non-profits
Community development centers, cultural institutions, and arts nonprofits involving murals as part of their broader mission.

The Mural Maintenance Program

Hand the collection over.
We've got it.

After a first completed treatment, clients can turn the care of the collection over to Anemos. We'll handle checkups, coating refreshes, and full resets, all tracked and scheduled around your budget cycle.
