Hagersville Streetscape Plan

Murals
The objective for murals within downtown Hagersville is to enhance the
“sense of place” in the community by enhancing the visual interest and
vibrancy of the downtown with locally relevant wall mounted art pieces.
Murals should:
a) Be completed by a qualified professional artist.
b) Not be commercial advertising of any sort.
c) Use themes that are related to Hagersville’s history, tourism,
features, character, or any artistic expression.
d) Be located only on exterior walls that do not contain the
primary building entrance and so as to not obscure the
building’s architectural details.
e) Use high quality, durable, graffiti‐resistant, and weather
resistant materials.
f) Use colours consistent with the building and that do not
overshadow the respective building or the surrounding area.
g) Have properly prepared surfaces prior to installation including
cleaning, scraping debris, and filling holes to ensure a high
quality and durable finish.
h) Minimize the amount of the surface area of the mural that is
dedicated to acknowledging the mural’s sponsor, if applicable.
i) Be lit with energy efficient fixtures that are consistent with the
primary building lighting.
