How can murals bring people together?

A mural only gains true meaning when people recognize themselves, their story, or their environment in it. By involving students, employees, neighbors, or local residents in the creative process, something more than just a beautiful wall painting emerges. It becomes a work of art embraced by the very people it was created for.

Such a mural can be created both indoors and outdoors. On a façade, playground, office wall, production area, tunnel, ceiling, container, or any other striking location. Treepack creates murals for companies, schools, and cities and municipalities.

From a blank wall to a shared story

A Treepack mural does far more than simply brighten up an empty wall. The creative process offers a unique opportunity to bring together people of diverse ages, cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives.


During a brainstorm, workshop, or participatory session, we gather stories, values, and inspiration. A professional artist then translates this input into a powerful, cohesive design.


Participants don't need to design the artwork themselves. Their ideas and experiences form the foundation for a mural in which they will truly see themselves reflected.

Indoors or outdoors, on virtually any surface

A mural doesn't have to be limited to a traditional exterior façade. Treepack paints both indoors and outdoors, working on virtually any stable and accessible surface.

Consider, for example:

  • brick, concrete, and plasterwork
  • interior and exterior walls
  • building façades and side walls
  • office, retail, and school walls
  • tunnels, passageways, and parking garages
  • production halls and warehouses
  • containers, roller shutters, and technical installations
  • wooden or metal panels
  • ceilings and other unique architectural surfaces

For every project, we assess the surface, accessibility, and environmental conditions beforehand. We then tailor the preparation, primers, paint types, and protective coatings accordingly. This ensures every mural is realized sustainably and professionally, whether created indoors or outdoors.

The location is never seen as a limitation, but rather as an integral part of the creative concept.

Murals for schools

In a school setting, a mural can connect pupils, students, teachers, and staff in an inspiring and creative way. They can collaborate on themes that resonate within the school community, share stories, or express what they’d love to see on their playground or school building.

Think of themes such as diversity, sustainability, mental well-being, the school's history, or dreams for the future.

The mural can be brought to life on an exterior façade or playground, but equally in an entrance hall, cafeteria, sports hall, hallway, or classroom. Involving students in the process not only sparks their excitement for the artwork, but also nurtures a deeper sense of belonging and school pride.

Murals for businesses

Within a company, the creative journey can bring team members closer together. Colleagues can actively contribute ideas about the company’s core values, history, activities, and future vision.

The team's input is transformed into a mural that not only makes a striking visual statement, but also embodies what the company stands for. This creates a vibrant work environment that employees resonate with and feel deeply connected to.

Indoors, a mural can transform an office, reception area, meeting room, warehouse, or production facility. Outdoors, an eye-catching façade mural makes the brand's identity unmistakably visible to clients, visitors, and passersby.

A mural can simultaneously elevate company culture, brand experience, and employer branding. Be sure to check out our blog on murals as a tool for employer branding.

Murals for cities and municipalities

For a city or municipality, a mural is also a powerful way to engage residents with their local community.

During a co-creation session, local residents can share stories, memories, and ideas. This inspiration is translated into a work of art that reflects the unique character of the area and resonates with the people living there.

This can be realized on a blank gable wall, but also inside a tunnel, underpass, sports hall, community center, or other public spaces. An existing site is not just given a fresh new look—it evolves into an inspiring landmark that fosters connection, pride, and community spirit.

Moreover, an artistic project can attract visitors and form part of a broader art route. With innovative concepts such as TOUR ELENTRIK® and TOUR SURPRISE, Treepack makes art accessible and delightful in public spaces.

Both the journey and the artwork bring people together

The magic of a mural lies not just in the final artwork. The entire creative journey sparks dialogue, brings fresh ideas to light, and builds a stronger sense of community.

By actively involving people, an interior or exterior wall blossoms into a shared narrative—a visual story that endures for years and brings lasting meaning to the space.
