Catonsville Mural Art Walking Tour

Welcome to the mural tour – an opportunity to view the miles of public art along the Catonsville corridor.  These murals serve as a visual narrative of Catonsville’s rich history and culture. Some depict significant events while others celebrate our newly formed arts district.

Each piece of art has it’s own page with details about the art, the artist, funders, and more.  Look up info about the art as you come across them in town, or follow our directions for a step by step tour of all 18 pieces.

Directions

This tour heads roughly from west to east, mostly centered along Frederick Rd, heading through downtown Catonsville, across the beltway bridge into Paradise, then finally south onto the Short Line Trail.  Follow our directions found at the bottom of this and each mural infopage to find the next stop.  View the InfoPage at each stop for more information about the art.
