Community Kindness Murals
Creating Art. Building Community. Inspiring Kindness.
A Kind Works Community Kindness Mural transforms an ordinary wall into a lasting symbol of kindness, connection, and belonging. More than a beautiful work of art, each mural is created through a collaborative process that brings students, families, educators, employees, and community members together around a shared purpose.
Participants don't simply help build a mural—they become part of its story.
During hands-on tile-making workshops, participants learn basic clay techniques while creating individual ceramic tiles that become permanent pieces of the finished mural. Every tile represents a unique contribution, reinforcing the idea that every person has the ability to make a meaningful impact.
Following the tile-making process, community volunteers join our team for the mural installation, where they learn mosaic techniques and work side by side to assemble hundreds—or even thousands—of individual pieces into one unified work of art.
The finished mural serves as a permanent reminder that kindness grows stronger when individuals come together, and that small acts, like individual tiles, can create something extraordinary.

“Thank you to Kind Works for helping us create such an amazing Be Kind mural! Kind Works was there every step of the way sharing their knowledge and guiding us through the process of creating and painting the tiles and installing the mural at our school. The students and staff at our school all shared a part in making this beautiful and meaningful mural. The volunteers from Kind Works were wonderful and radiated positivity as they helped us throughout the year. Such a special group of people! I am very happy with the mural and the smiles on the students’ and teachers’ faces show the impact this mural already has had on our school community. Thank you again!”
Mural Process and Next Steps
Decide the design for the mural you want to install... Secure the required deposit and confirm that the area you have chosen for your mural meets the criteria below. Once you have paid the deposit, we will send you a mural agreement and an invoice and we will move forward with scheduling the dates for both the tile-making workshop and the installation.
Choose your Location
Murals can be installed either indoor or outdoor, but indoor murals have several advantages:
Protection from seasonal weather
Increased flexibility with scheduling as we CAN instal during the winter months
If necessary, the mural size may be adjusted to fit the wall, however no discounts will be provided for smaller murals due to the size of the wall available for installation.
The wall needs to be a flat surface made of brick or concrete. We can also work with sheetrock walls on an indoor mural. Any adjustments or improvements deemed necessary by Kind Works to the surface of the wall is the responsibility of the school/organization commissioning the mural. This includes, but is not limited to: re-texturing the wall surface, installing Hardiebacker, etc.
The wall must be accessible to the volunteers that will be assisting in the installation.
It is also the responsibility of the organization/school commissioning the mural to secure any necessary permits required for the installation of the mural.
Payment Information
Kind Works requires a deposit of 50% of the total cost to schedule installation and start the process. Forms of payment accepted include: cash, credit card and check.
The balance is due within 7 business days following mural completion.
The cost of the mural may be adjusted for travel expenses dependent on roundtrip distance from the Kind Works studio located at 32 Stony Hill Rd, Bethel, CT.
You are welcome to fundraise to pay for your mural, however, please be aware that Kind Works may not provide fundraising assistance. Any fundraising efforts must clearly state that funding is to support your school/organization. Entities outside of Kind Works may not use Kind Works logos for monetary gain. Mural payments received by Kind Works are considered transactions for a program fee.
