<p>Unfortunately, a lot of the murals were done before I took over as director. I do know that we will not fund a mural if it will be painted on virgin brick. Already painted brick is okay!</p>
<p>All of our grants have come from organizations within our city, such as Enid Arts Council and the Public Art Commission. It's possible that the Oklahoma Arts Council might have some grants worth checking out! <a href="https://www.arts.ok.gov/">https://www.arts.ok.gov/</a> </p>
<p>Kelly would be a great person to ask about this because she now paints murals professionally. I know she would love to help you with these questions. Her new email is <a href="mailto:kelly@hiveappeal.com">kelly@hiveappeal.com</a> </p>
<p>Sorry I wasn't much help! A lot of our businesses are taking it upon themselves to hire the artist and then ask us to help with some of the cost.</p>
