Paint the town
Come Paint the Town with us! Explore Olympia’s mural culture through the colorful artwork decorating our streets and alleyways and turning everyday landscapes into sites of color, memory, and connection. This exhibit also investigates the work murals do in Olympia and beyond—from murals that double as solidarity networks to those that serve as memorials.
Paint the Town also features a cardboard city that visitors of all ages are invited to decorate!

Against the backdrop of hand-painted maps by local muralist Fern Tallos, You Are Here explores Olympia at two scales: From the history at the intersection of State Avenue and Columbia Street to the broader stories of the South Puget Sound which have shaped Olympia over time.
