Spokane, WA
Spokane's mural scene has grown alongside the city's emergence from post-industrial stagnation into a regionally significant arts hub, with the Kendall Yards development introducing large-format street art to the city's most ambitious recent project and the historic Garland and Perry Districts hosting community-scaled murals that reflect the distinct characters of their respective neighborhoods.
Featured Artists
All artists →Brooks Elliot
Elliot creates murals anchored by the Spokane River and the basalt canyon geology that makes the city's topographic setting so dramatic, translating Eastern Washington's distinctive landscape into large-format compositions that bring the surrounding wilderness into the urban fabric. His Kendall Yards work is the most photographed mural in Spokane, a panoramic vision of the river and canyon visible from the community's main promenade.
Patricia Romero
Romero has built a body of work in the Garland District that documents the neighborhood's history as one of Spokane's working-class commercial corridors, using archival research and community interviews to create murals that are simultaneously historical documents and contemporary artworks. Her W. Garland Avenue work is a visual love letter to a neighborhood that has maintained its character through decades of economic challenge.
Oscar Wu
Wu creates murals that honor Spokane's Chinese and Japanese-American communities, whose histories—from the railroad laborers of the 1880s to the Japanese-American families incarcerated during World War II—are essential to understanding the city's development. His Perry District work places Asian-American history in a neighborhood context, asserting the presence of communities whose contributions to Spokane have been systematically overlooked.
