Providence murals are modest in nature and are usually large-scale murals made with light pastels – earthy tones that are easy-on-the-eyes. Wanna know more about Providence murals? Continue below.

Cambodian artist, Andrew Hem, created the mural Misty Blue for The Avenue Concept’s Influx program in 2017. Not only is Hem a proud Cambodian immigrant, but this mural was specially created to represent the growing Cambodian population, right here in Providence.
Still Here
Still Here by Gaia (@gaiastreetart), Custom House St., Providence, RI
Large scale Providence murals like this one are powerful enough to make a huge impact on its residents and their Native American community! Still Here by Gaia features Narragansett tribal member Lynsea Monatari on a five-story mural, surrounded by divine natural elements like flowers, berries, blackbirds and other living things. In her hands, she holds a Black and white photo of tribal elder Princess Red Wing, founder of the Tomaquag Museum.
