Clinton Square

Clinton Serenade, by Corky Goss and Chip Miller, reflects the beauty and history of Downtown Syracuse circa early 1900s, and can be found at North Salina Street on the north side of the bank building.

 

Tipp Hill

Eugene Stetz’s Nasrene lights up the city’s Near West Side at Fayette Street with an homage to Syracuse’s native beauty: the flowers, sky, and owl, as well as the local woman depicted in the mural.

New to the Tipp Hill neighborhood, local muralist Ally Walker completed a stretch of colorful houses on Coleridge Avenue, near the Rosamond Gifford Zoo. The mural spans some 147 feet and took nearly three weeks to complete. It pays tribute to the Deck of Cards Houses in Ireland.

 

Downtown

Steve Powers’ A Love Letter to Syracuse series revives the old railroad bridges above West and Fayette Streets between Downtown and the Near West Side. NYC artist Powers combined local wisdom with tributes to who Syracuse was, is and what you make of it when he designed these nationally recognized murals.

Another Ally Walker original resides on the back of an Amory Square building. This mural, called The Wall, features a number of interactive pictures that bring fun to any and all who walk by it!

 Easy to spot entering or exiting the Downtown area from West Street, Always Advance is Meredith Kasabian’s and Josh Luke’s tribute to Syracuse—once the typewriter capital of the country—and serves as a vivid reminder for those who pass by to keep moving forward.

Yet another local and extremely talented artist/muralist, Jacqueline Colello, took three months to design this amazing piece located at Inspire at the Grainery on N Warren Street. Jacqueline not only lifts Syracuse up with her amazing and colorful designs, but she's also an inspirational speaker. 

Jonas Never had the pleasure to visit Syracuse back during the summer of 2022 to create this stunning ode to basketball legends local to the Syracuse, New York area. The athletes on the mural broke barriers in race, religion & equality, and Jonas explained that he felt extremely honored to have helped show off this message.

 

Westcott

The Westcott neighborhood is a funky district, home to plenty of vibrant mosaics, sculptures, and street art, including Michael Moody’s colorful and lively community mural at the corner of Westcott and South Beech Streets.

Grab a tasty taco and savor Ally Walker’s interactive Be Yourself umbrella mural on XO Taco’s colorful exterior.
