The Painted Desert Project is an innovative public art initiative that connects artists with the Navajo Nation, enhancing community engagement through vibrant murals. Founded by artist Jetsonorama, the project aims to boost tourism and provide economic support to local families by inviting acclaimed street artists to create large-scale installations throughout the region.

Since its inception in 2009, the project has cultivated lasting relationships between artists and the community, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Navajo Nation. By transforming abandoned structures and roadside stands into artistic expressions, the Painted Desert Project fosters both creativity and cultural exchange among residents and visitors alike.
