Thank You ~John Knotts   

The information below applies to serious inquiries into the commission of a mural or murals as designed, produced, and installed or produced onsite by Knotts Mural Studio and John Knotts. The pricing is also based on high quality, professional mural design and production. We produce fine art on large scale surfaces for high end residential, commercial and public buildings/ffacilities. Prices are competitive only with other mural companies/Artists that produce equivalent work in quality, size and scope of work and with similar training and educational background as John Knotts. See Bio page on this site.  

A basic rule of cost for murals is as follows:

This is an average cost estimate and includes all related expenses, labor and production costs. Each mural project is unique and will be bid individually based on the prices below. 

Residential Murals ~ The majority of murals that I design and paint for the home owner range between $5,000 to $10,000. Large or high ceiling murals in open concept homes can be more. These murals are usually large fine art paintings, such as landscapes,city scenes and even abstract original works by John Knotts.

Commercial and Public Art Murals ~ Murals in Public Places
Prices below  relate to murals that are 300 square feet or more in total size.

Indoor on canvas = approx $50.00 per square foot

Outdoor on plaster = approx $ 60.00 per square foot.    

Establishing the budget for the design and production of a mural as designed by John Knotts is a very important aspect of commissioning a mural. The budget and funding must be sufficient to equal the size and scope of the project. A high end residential mural may be priced at $8,000 to $10,000 on average. A large public art project that covers 1000 square feet is in the average range of $50,000.00 or more.  Expenses necessary to complete a large mural project can be several thousand dollars alone. Large scale public murals can take several weeks or even months to complete from beginning to end.

Please contact us on the contact page of this site to discuss your project. There are many variables that go into our bidding process . If we paint the mural on location outdoors there is surface prep/plaster, keim mural paint system( see www.keim.com), travel and living expenses for myself and assistants among other expenses. If we paint on canvas(large canvas panals) and install the mural on location, there is canvas cost (25 per sq yd) professional installation costs, and studio /wharehouse overhead while producing the murals.
