The Lakeland Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is proud to announce the launch of the Lakeland CRA Mural Passport, an interactive initiative designed to showcase the city’s vibrant public art scene while encouraging residents and visitors to explore Lakeland’s unique neighborhoods.
The Mural Passport invites participants to visit a curated collection of murals located throughout CRA districts, including Downtown, Midtown, and Dixieland. By checking in at each mural location, participants can track their progress, learn about the artists, and discover the stories behind each piece of art.
“This program is about more than just murals—it’s about connection,” said CRA Representative Shelley Guiseppi, CRA Project Manager. “The Mural Passport encourages people to experience Lakeland in a new way, support local businesses, and appreciate the creativity that makes our community special.”
Participants can pick up a printed version at Lakeland City Hall, Lakeland’s Chamber of Commerce, and CRA partner Visit Central Florida. Participants can earn a Mural Passport exclusive cloth bag by tagging @lakelandgov on Facebook with at least fifteen (15) photo check-ins. Bags can be picked up at the Lakeland CRA office located at Lakeland City Hall, 225 S Massachusetts Av, Lakeland, Florida 33801
The program aims to:
• Promote public art and local artists
• Increase foot traffic to CRA districts
• Support small businesses and local economies
• Foster community pride and engagement
Whether you’re a longtime resident or first-time visitor, the Lakeland CRA Mural Passport offers a fun and meaningful way to explore the city.
