Ballard's Raven Village tiny-home community serving formerly unhoused residents will receive mural

Raven Village, a 22-unit tiny-home community in Ballard that serves formerly unhoused residents, is scheduled to receive a large public mural, according to a local arts notice published Feb. 24, 2026. The notice identifies the project as a community arts partnership that will install the mural on the Ballard site.

The community houses 22 tiny-home units and provides permanent housing to people who were previously unhoused, making the mural project a visible addition to a residential campus rather than a storefront or commercial wall. Raven Village sits in Ballard, Seattle, and the Feb. 24, 2026 notice framed the installation as art for both residents and the surrounding neighborhood.

The arts notice itself was posted Feb. 24, 2026 and emphasized that a community arts partnership will carry out the work. The announcement did not limit the description to a single artist; instead it highlighted a partnership model, indicating coordinated efforts between local arts organizers and the Raven Village community to place a public mural at the tiny-home site.

For residents of the 22-unit community, the mural represents a permanent, on-site public-art installation tied directly to a tiny-home housing project that serves formerly unhoused people. The placement of a mural at a residential tiny-home village contrasts with murals traditionally sited on commercial corridors, and the Feb. 24, 2026 notice frames this as an intentional community-based effort in Ballard.

Neighbors and Ballard-area passersby will see the mural once installation proceeds under the terms outlined in the arts notice published Feb. 24, 2026. The public-art project connects Ballard’s tiny-home housing model with local cultural programming by using a community arts partnership to site artwork where 22 formerly unhoused residents live.

The notice on Feb. 24, 2026 is the concrete step signaling that Raven Village will receive this large mural; next steps and installation timing will follow the partnership’s schedule. For a 22-unit tiny-home community already providing housing for formerly unhoused people in Ballard, the mural will add a new, public-facing element to the site and the neighborhood.
