WE ARE WOOD COUNTY

Culture.History.Personality.Community

Inspired by Wynwood Walls in Miami

The Wood County Walls is a project to connect and create mural art across Wood County: Unifying our community one wall at a time.

The Unity Mural Project

The wall that started it all. A project that started as a crazy dream, and became a powerful reality that has helped us emphasize Unity in our Community. Click here to find out more about our first mural.

A Mural Art Festival!

We see a lot of potential in having an integrated network of murals here in Wood County. One of those opportunities is a yearly festival to celebrate art. Our dream tells of booths for local artists, live music, an art competition, and the annual commissioning of a mural. Of course, there are a lot of moving parts to get that done; if you’re interested in contributing to that, click the ‘Get Involved’ button.

A way to express.

Art provides an outlet for the expression of culture, history, personality, or community. We see Wood Walls as an opportunity to promote expression while simultaneously giving the members of our community something to relate to, consider, or be moved by. East Texas has a rich culture and tons of personality, Wood Walls is a chance for us to showcase that for any and everyone to see. Are you interested in knowing more about our philosophy?

Mural art has somewhat of a beautiful parallel to life. An artist will train for years, plan for months, paint for weeks on an amazing piece of art. Then, next year another artist will come and cover it up. The first artist isn’t concerned however because that’s just how the game is played, and anyways, they’re already focused on their next wall.
