Meet the artist

Francisco Cruz.
Artist. Builder. Rebel.

ARES stands for Artistic Rebels Ever Since. Founded by Atlanta-area artist Francisco Cruz, ARES Murals & Activations combines graffiti roots, professional mural work, and real hip-hop culture to transform spaces and create opportunities for artists.

We don’t just decorate walls. We help businesses attract attention, give communities something to rally around, and create experiences people want to talk about.
