Port Moody wants to promote more murals on private properties like this one at Parkside Brewery on Murray Street.

The municipality that bills itself as The City of the Arts wants to figure out ways to encourage murals on private property.

Port Moody city council has approved a recommendation from its arts and culture committee to put together a streamlined outdoor mural permit application process. It also recommended creating a grant to offset a percentage of the costs to property owners.

A committee report cited New Westminster as a city that has a process it could emulate.
