In July of 2020, the society’s directors approved a Mural Grant Program, in support of its mandate to “stimulate efforts to improve the street appearance of historic Yarmouth’s business district facades.”
The mural program will provide up to 75% contribution or to a maximum of $7,500 (for a $10,000 project) contribution in the form of a rebate grant for mural projects located in the town’s Central Business District.
These projects contribute to the Downtown Blueprint Plan’s strategic placemaking goals. The Yarmouth Façade Society will evaluate all project opportunities against specific criteria as outlined in the sections within the application form.
