Help us bring Batavia’s spirit to life through art by supporting a vibrant new mural celebrating our identity as "The City of Good Energy"! This large-scale mural will serve as a bold, welcoming statement to residents and visitors alike, incorporating a playful nod to the city's historic tagline, with a modern twist that reflects Batavia's unique charm, community pride, and active, friendly lifestyle.

Through colorful visuals such as people enjoying the river path, playful dogs, lush nature, and a radiant sunburst, the mural will capture the heart of our pet-friendly, outdoor-loving community. Most importantly, the mural will represent us—the people of Batavia—with wide age and multigenerational families, a spirit of volunteerism and giving, and a thriving culture of artists and makers. Known for being progressive, family-friendly, and filled with good-spirited neighbors, Batavia is ready to shine with your help. Be a part of Batavia's Good Energy and donate today!

*Donations above and beyond our campaign goal will be applied towards Water Street Studios' mission to make the arts accessible in the Fox Valley, including but not limited to, future public art installations.
