How it works
Four steps, one contact
01
The call
Fifteen minutes. What the wall is for, where it is, and when it has to be finished.
02
The concept
We cast the artist and send you sketches laid over a photo of your actual wall, before anyone paints.
03
The production
Permits, access, prep, crew and insurance. You get a schedule and one person to call.
04
The wall
Painted, sealed against sun and weather, then photographed and filmed so you can use it everywhere.
The roster
A roster, not a search engine
Most brands end up scrolling Instagram, messaging five artists and hoping one of them answers, quotes properly and shows up with a lift. That is not a plan, it is a gamble on a deadline.
A45 keeps a working roster of muralists, letterers and graffiti writers in Los Angeles. We know what each of them is fast at, what they charge, and what they are like on a job site. You describe the wall and the audience, we bring you two or three names that actually fit.
Questions
Before you call
What does A45 actually do that an artist does not?
We carry everything around the paint. Casting the artist, the concept, the contract, the permits, insurance, lifts and access, the schedule, and the photos and video at the end. An artist paints one wall. We run a project, and we can run several at once in different cities.
Do you only work in Los Angeles?
Los Angeles is home and it is where most of our walls are. We also work across Southern California and travel for the right project. Recent walls have gone up in Orange County, Riverside and Abilene, Texas.
How long does a mural take?
Most walls are painted in a few days to two weeks once the design is approved. What sets the date is usually everything before that, so the earlier you call, the easier the deadline is.
What does it cost?
Every wall is quoted on its own after a free consultation. Size, access, surface and how fast you need it are what move the number. Several walls booked in one visit cost less than the same walls booked separately.
Do we need a permit?
It depends on the wall, the city and whether the piece carries a logo or a message. We work that out at the start and handle the filing when it is needed, so nothing gets painted over later.
Can you find us a wall?
Yes. Tell us the neighbourhood and the audience you want and we will source walls, speak to the owners and bring you options with photos and sightlines.
Not sure which one you need?
Describe the wall and what you want it to do. We will tell you what it takes.
