Champaign Mural Project

Donation protected
Please help support this project to have Langston Allston, a talented local artist, paint a mural near downtown Champaign. Langston has painted multiple murals in Chicago and Champaign, including at Exile on Main in the historic train station, and at Mike N' Molly's. We want to paint this mural, which will be located at the North First Street Barber Shop, at the end of this month (August 29th-31st). The time is fast approaching! The funds will go towards the artist's materials, equipment, lodging, transportation, and fees. Click "Read More" to see more work by the artist.

Champaign-Urbana is a symbol of hopes and dreams, of opportunity, and forward-thinking. The goal is to commemorate the challenges and messages of 2020. The mural will have the theme of sustainability and will be decorated with symbolism relating to the environment. The mission is to inspire conversations about important topics. We can't stress enough how grateful we are for your involvement. Every dollar helps!

Whether you can spare $100, $10, or $0.50, you can easily get involved in bringing this project into reality, beautifying and benefiting the Champaign-Urbana community.  We truly appreciate your help, as does the community. 

The artist's sketch of the mural-to-be will be used for some fundraising incentives (click "read more" to view the images and incentives at the end).  Anything helps and top donors will receive a high-quality print of the mural artwork:
