Mural Registration Application

To be registered, murals must be in good condition. A separate application is required for each mural on a site. A single application may be submitted for a permission wall.

Upon review and approval of an application, DCASE will send notice of approval to the contacts listed in the application along with an assigned unique Mural Registration ID number and instructions for placement of the Mural Registry emblem. Within 30 days of receipt of instructions, applicants must provide documentation of the emblem affixed to the mural to complete the registration process.
