Burlington, VT
Burlington's mural scene reflects the city's progressive identity and tight-knit community, with the South End Arts District hosting a remarkable concentration of large-format work in a city of just 45,000 people. The Church Street Marketplace pedestrian corridor provides high-visibility context for public art in the heart of Vermont's largest city, where the mural scene punches well above its weight in quality and ambition.
Featured Artists
All artists →Vera Johansen
Johansen's murals are anchored by Lake Champlain, whose presence defines Burlington's visual identity, creating work that captures the specific quality of lake light—the way the Adirondacks are reflected in the water, the way storms move across the surface, the deep blue of deep summer—at architectural scale. Her South End work is Burlington's most celebrated mural, a panoramic composition that has become inseparable from the neighborhood's identity.
Tyler Rowan
Rowan creates murals that engage with Burlington's progressive political identity, making work that addresses climate change, economic inequality, and community solidarity in a visual language that is accessible without being simplistic. His Church Street work is the most politically engaged mural on Vermont's busiest pedestrian corridor, creating a running visual commentary on the issues that matter most to the city's community.
Alicia Moore
Moore has spent a decade documenting Burlington's diverse community through large-format portraits that celebrate the city's particular combination of longtime Vermont residents, University of Vermont students, refugee communities, and outdoor recreation enthusiasts. Her South End work is a visual love letter to Burlington's community, capturing the faces and stories that make a small city feel like a world unto itself.
