Graham Projects creates public art for pedestrian safety and play. Public artist Graham Coreil-Allen (he/him) and team bring creative vision and public space experience, listen to and work closely with stakeholders, conduct in-depth research, and develop creative solutions for successful public spaces. Some call it creative placemaking, others tactical urbanism. We call it public art for the common good.

Graham Projects specializes in pedestrian-safety-enhancing artistic crosswalks and pavement murals, interactive installations activating street life, landmark sculptures, and creative wayfinding.

We have experience working in a range of design-build processes; including traditional municipal public art commissions, festival-based temporary projects, community-based initiatives funded by grants, in collaboration with architectural and urban planning teams, and in partnership with larger general contractors.

Project Case Study: Seasonal Turn

Community-based design process

Graham Projects prioritizes a community-informed process in which stakeholders provide guidance and inspiration for impactful public art. Based on public input our team develops a range of design options that we share at community meetings and online. Using public feedback, we adapt designs to community preferences. Graham Projects then works closely with city agencies and property owners to secure all necessary approvals and permits to safely and seamlessly execute public art installation.
