“It’s a piece of art made of paint tile or other material applied directly to the exterior of a wall that is visible to a public space,” an Amarillo city official said.

These murals are spread throughout Amarillo and the city council allocated money from the general fund to promote the creation of more. A total of $30,000 was given to a mural grant fund to reimburse property owners and artists for up to 50% of the mural’s cost.
