From downtown buildings to local businesses, Milwaukee’s mural scene is always growing. New additions have emerged around several Milwaukee neighborhoods.
Here are some that we’ve spotted around town.
“Love You More”
Cory Nikolaus’ “Love You More” mural, at 3900 S. 13th St. (at Howard Avenue) in the Garden District was unveiled in October 2025. Nikolaus, who has worked for over 16 years as a funeral director and cemetery manager, said the mural offers a new perspective on the relationship of life and death, according to a Milwaukee Common Council press release.
The mural, which sits directly across from St. Adalbert Cemetery, brings a dreamscape to reality.
According to the press release, the mural was supported via the Gateway to Milwaukee Business Improvement District to the city’s Property Beautification Grant Reimbursement Program in partnership with local business Brown Wilbert Vault Co. Nikolaus’ mural won a Mayor’s Design Award for 2026 under the “Places and Spaces” category.
“Bob Uecker”
The late voice of the Milwaukee Brewers has been enshrined with a towering 100-foot-tall mural in downtown Milwaukee. Bob Uecker’s legacy lives on through this mural painted by artist Mauricio Ramirez. Ramirez is responsible for some of Milwaukee’s most famous murals, including the Giannis Antetokounmpo mural at 600 E. Wisconsin Ave., the “Queen and Slim” mural at 1819 N. Martin Luther King Drive and the “Our Roots Say That We’re Sisters” mural on Marquette University’s campus. Ramirez’ Uecker mural was officially completed on June 13.
Green Tech Station mural
Milwaukee artist Tayla Hart came together with the community to paint a mural at Green Tech Station in May. The mural offers a vibrant picture of the environment, fitting its location. According to the Green Tech Station website, it’s a place where “students, researchers and professionals learn about and experiment with forms of green infrastructure.”
The mural by Hart joins other art such as painted benches and colorfully sequenced fences. The Green Tech Station mural is designed not only with science in mind but with art at its heart,” Green Tech Station’s website states.
Paleteria Yayo mural
Paleteria Yayo’s 55-foot-wide mural, commissioned by the Milwaukee Brewers, was completed in May. The mural was co-led by artists Whitney Salgado and Aisha Valentín, who work with Luna Creative Collaborations, and focuses on the nature of youth and nostalgia.

“De Aquí, De Allá”
“De Aquí, De Allá” was finished in September 2025. The mural at 1224 S. César E. Chávez Drive was created by local artists Jazmin Roman, Nyia Luna and Mahala Sy for Viva Nuestra Herencia, a celebration of Hispanic heritage. Read here for more information on Viva Nuestra Herencia and this mural.
“Up Up and Away”
Black Cat Alley, which exists directly behind the Oriental Theater, 2230 N. Farwell Ave., is home to numerous murals. The newest of which is a quaint mural by Arcadia Melster aka “AIM Creatively.”
“The mural represents everyone who strives sometime in their life and how hard work can pay off,” Melster said. “It reminds me of how far I have come as an artist and educator and that no matter what, like a goldfish yearning to fly, you can be able to follow your dreams.”
New mural at MLK Center
This new mural installation in June celebrates Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center’s 50 years of service. The center is located at 1531 W. Vliet St. For more, read here.
Homeownership Lab mural
Milwaukee muralist Tia Richardson created a mural commemorating new homeownership efforts earlier this year. Richardson, who won the City of Milwaukee Artist of the Year in 2018, is renowned for her many murals around the city.
She collaborated with residents and staff from the Community Development Alliance to create one of her latest projects, unveiled during an event in February.
“I wanted to visualize that connection to developing the hearts and minds of the community, developing all of those involved and developing the future,” Richardson said.
“Las Caras Lindas de Mi Gente Negra”
This mural’s title, which translates to “The Beautiful Faces of My Black People,” was installed at Art Intersection MKE, 3542 W. Vliet St., earlier this month. The muralist, Rozalia Hernandez-Singh said, “This mural honors Black Latinos whose contributions to culture, history and community are too often overlooked and undervalued.”
In the mural, Milwaukee’s own influential percussionist Cecilio Negrón Jr. (center right) plays the conga. Others featured in the mural are (bottom left to right) José Barbosa, Celia Cruz, Roberto Clemente, Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, Dámaso Pérez Prado and Julia de Burgos.
