The Portland Murals Gallery contains one or more photos of each Portland mural that the former nonprofit, Metro Murals,  identified as community-based. Below each photo is available information about the mural including: the artist, the location, the neighborhood association, the year created, the approximate measurements, and approximate total square footage. In some instances, it was not possible to determine the mural artist.

Mural ID: Each mural has an ID (e.g., SEC023b). 

• The first two letters (SE) refer to the mural's location in Portland (in this case, in
  the Southeast). Portland is divided into 5 areas. The Willamette River divides east and west, and Burnside St. divides north and south. North Portland is included with northwest Portland in this Gallery. See Portland Map.

• The third letter refers to the type of mural; in the Gallery the murals are all
  community-based murals so the letter is always 'C'.

• The number (023) refers to the mural's listing in the Gallery; there is no particular
  order to the numbers. 

• The lower case letter(s) following the mural ID indicate the number of photos of
  that mural. For instance, a 'b' means there are at least two photos ('a' and 'b');
  there may or may not be more than two photos. 

  Note that some murals will have the letter 'x' at the end of the ID and before the
other letters (e.g., NEC024xd). This indicates that the mural no longer exists, but we
have at least four photos ('a' to 'd') of it. Lastly, note North and Northeast are
classified together as NE. 

Mural Name: Metro Murals has taken the liberty to name the murals for which we
cannot find the name given by the original artist(s).

Artist(s): Includes all the artists known to be involved in the creation of the mural.

Location: The address of the building on which the mural is painted. Note that
sometimes murals are located on the side or the back of the building. 

Neighborhood Association: Which of Portland's 95 neighborhood associations the
mural is located in.

Year Created: The year (or approximate year) the mural was created.
