Contribute markers and expand coverage
Submit murals, sculptures, installations, and public works so your city is represented in a practical, searchable map. Each contribution helps someone else discover art they would have otherwise missed. Start small: add one work you pass on your commute, one hidden gem in your neighborhood, or one piece tourists always overlook. Focus on clear titles, accurate locations, and brief descriptions that help others know what to expect.
Validate and improve existing markers
Good maps need maintenance. If you visit a location and notice an error—wrong coordinates, outdated photo, missing artist name—help correct it. If a mural has been painted over or a sculpture moved, flag the change so others don't waste time. Community curation keeps the dataset honest and useful. Even small fixes compound over time to create a more reliable resource for everyone.
Support artists and provide cultural context
Public art tells stories about the places where it exists. When you contribute, include context that helps people understand who created a work and why it matters in local culture. Attribution is important: artists deserve recognition, and viewers get more from a visit when they know the backstory. If you're an artist yourself, connect your profile so visitors can discover more of your work.
Contributor guidelines and community standards
Quality matters more than quantity. Submit only works that are genuinely accessible in public space—avoid private property, respect local rules, and never encourage trespassing. Keep descriptions factual and respectful. Do not include personal information about private individuals. If you're unsure about a submission, err on the side of caution. A helpful, accurate map is better than a large, messy one.
Frequently asked questions
What should I include in a marker submission?
Include a clear title, accurate GPS coordinates, a brief description of what you see, and artist attribution if known. A photo helps but is optional. Focus on information that will help someone find and appreciate the work.
How long does it take for my submission to appear?
Most submissions are reviewed within a few days. Busy periods may take longer. Once approved, your contribution becomes visible to everyone using the map.
Can I submit street art I created myself?
Yes, if it is in a public or semi-public location where others can view it. Link your artist profile so visitors can discover more of your work.
How do I report a duplicate or incorrect marker?
Open the marker in the app and use the feedback option to flag issues. Describe what needs correction—duplicate, wrong location, outdated info—so moderators can act quickly.
Is there a contributor recognition program?
Active contributors build a track record tied to their profile. Over time, consistent quality contributions help establish trust and visibility within the community.
Can institutions or galleries add their locations?
Yes. Cultural institutions, galleries, and public art programs can contribute official data. Contact the community team for partnership options that fit your organization.
What if a mural or installation has been removed?
Submit an update noting the change. The map improves when contributors report removals, repaints, or relocations. This keeps routes useful and avoids wasted trips.
