Mural Magic in Downtown Hampton

June 8, 2007

The Downtown Hampton Development Partnership (DHDP) is committed to making Downtown Hampton clean, safe, and a beautiful place to live, work, shop, and play.

Abracadabra
This unique Trompe l'oeil, French for "Fool the eye," makes images painted on buildings appear real. Intrigued? Just walk down Queen Street and you'll see examples of this lovely art form from the 1994 mural program.

Magical Places
In this first year Mural Magic the DHDP is splitting the cost with property owners for new murals on downtown buildings. You too can help spread the magic of downtown by making a 100% tax-deductible contribution to DHDP/Mural Magic. You'll receive a free Wine-Jazz t-shirt with a minimal contribution of $5.
