Illegally applied graffiti can have a negative impact on the livability and attractiveness of a city. The use of murals prevents the nuisance caused by graffiti and is therefore ideal for trouble spots or temporary demarcations.
anti-graffiti
turn vandalism into a place of connection
Save costs, enrich lives
Graffiti is present in many forms in many municipalities. From quick tags and doodling to activist graffiti, where people try to make a statement. Illegal graffiti does not have to be ugly but can be misplaced or mistaken for vandalism. Every year, municipalities spend a lot of money removing it, while others see it as a sport to apply graffiti again. Certain places that are often targeted can be left alone by applying a mural, increasing the quality of life for residents.
What we say, others don't overspray
In the world of graffiti, artists respect each other's work. On the street, it is rare to see someone spraying over another mural, which is referred to as "crossing out." At MooieMuur, we not only stop nuisance spots but also add value to walls that are meant to cover construction sites or shop renovations in shopping streets, creating space for window dressing.

01.
Does a mural really work against graffiti nuisance?
Yes. In the graffiti world, artists respect each other's work: painting over a well-designed mural, known as 'crossing out', rarely happens. A problem spot is transformed into a place that gets left alone.
01.
Is a separate anti-graffiti coating needed alongside the mural itself?
The mural itself already discourages graffiti, but on request we also apply a permanent anti-graffiti coating. This forms an invisible protective layer that makes any new tags easy to remove without damaging the artwork.
01.
How long does an anti-graffiti coating last?
Our coatings remain effective for years without affecting the artwork underneath. In case of damage or new tags, we advise on repair and any touch-ups needed.
01.
Does MooieMuur also work with homeowners' associations (VVEs) on anti-graffiti murals?
Yes. Besides businesses, municipalities and housing corporations, we regularly work with homeowners' association representatives to transform problem spots at apartment complexes into murals.
01.
Is an anti-graffiti mural also suitable for a temporary location, such as a construction site?
Certainly. Spots that are frequent tagging targets — such as construction sites or shop renovations — are well suited to a temporary mural that preserves the street's appearance until the renovation is finished.
01.
Who designs MooieMuur's anti-graffiti murals?
Most are designed by Karski (Roy Valk), with previous anti-graffiti projects including housing corporation Staedion in The Hague and Albert Cuyp in Amsterdam. For larger projects, we work with artists from our network.
01.
How quickly can an anti-graffiti mural be realised after persistent nuisance?
Once we know the location and the goal, we schedule execution tightly. With persistent nuisance, speed is often important, and we're happy to align the planning accordingly.
01.
How do I start an anti-graffiti project for my building, VVE or municipality?
Get in touch by phone, email or the contact form. We look at the location, discuss the problem and desired design, and put together a quote based on that.
