Commissioned Community Colouring Murals for Festivals & Public Events
We design and create custom, large scale community colouring murals commissioned exclusively for councils, festivals, and public organisations.
Unlike hired colouring boards, commissioned murals are one-of-a-kind, not reused elsewhere, and become a long-term engagement asset owned by the commissioning organisation.
They are designed to support repeat use across festivals, programs, and community events — creating shared creative experiences over time.
What Is a Commissioned Community Colouring Mural?
A commissioned community colouring mural is a bespoke, freestanding colouring artwork created specifically for a festival, place, or community.
Each mural is:
-
Designed exclusively for one organisation
-
Tailored to local themes, identity, or program goals
-
Built for repeated public use
-
Retained and owned by the commissioning organisation
Commissioned murals move beyond one-day activations to become reusable community engagement infrastructure.
What’s Included in a Commissioned Mural
Every commissioned mural includes:
-
A custom, one-off illustration designed from scratch
-
Event, place, or community name permanently integrated
-
Design tailored to audience, scale, and setting
-
Large-scale, freestanding construction designed for public spaces
-
Designed for repeated interaction over time
-
Ownership of the physical mural by the client
Each commission is scoped carefully to suit how and where the mural will be used.
Made for Ongoing Use
The mural structure is built for repeated use; the illustrated surface is created for one activation at a time.
After each event, the completed mural can remain on display, be archived or be prepared for a new activation. Reuse requires the surface to be reset and a new illustration hand-drawn by your own artist or creative team, or by Zero Balloons.
One-off and annual mural refresh services are available.
How Commissioned Murals Differ from Hire Boards
| Hire Colouring Boards | Commissioned Colouring Murals |
|---|---|
| Short-term hire | Long-term ownership |
| Non-exclusive | Exclusive to one organisation |
| Returned after use | Retained by the client |
| Reused by Zero Balloons | Never reused elsewhere |
| Activity-based | Asset-based |
If you require a mural designed specifically for your community and intended for repeated use over time, a commissioned mural is the appropriate option.
