East Austin holds the brick.
East 6th and Cesar Chavez between I-35 and Pleasant Valley carry roughly fifty paste-friendly walls inside a few corridors. Venue owners support visual work, the mural culture is active, and new paper reads as part of the block, not noise dropped on top of it. That is the East Austin wall advantage.
Not a billboard buy. Not transit. Hand-installed paste-up at eye level on the surfaces your audience already walks past during SXSW, ACL, F1 weekend, and the UT academic year. The wall is the campaign. Nothing surrounds it.

Start your Austin campaign.
Paper, paste, and a real wall.
A large paper poster adhered to a wall with a water-based wheat-flour paste. The sheet grips brick, concrete, scaffold board, and plywood as a single skin — no frame, no vinyl, no grommets — and photographs as part of the building rather than a sign bolted on. The same water that cured the paste dissolves it on demand, leaving the surface clean.
- 01 Scout the wall
We identify permitted private walls, scaffold boards, and construction hoardings in your target Austin neighborhoods before anything prints.
- 02 Print in-house
Artwork is matched to the surface spec by the same crew that does the install. No handoff between print shop and installer.
- 03 Hand-paste
Two coats of paste per sheet — the face coat soaks through the fiber and locks the poster down edge to edge. 5-7 days from brief to first wall in Austin.
- 04 GPS-document every wall
Three photos per wall (wide, mid, and detail). Full log ships within 48 hours of the last install. 0 municipal removals on record since 2019.

Eight neighborhoods. Eight registers.
- East Austin raw brick · 15-25 days
East 6th, Cesar Chavez, and Pleasant Valley. Raw brick, venue exteriors, warehouse facades. Roughly fifty paste-friendly walls between I-35 and Pleasant Valley. The densest paste-up corridor in the city and the most active mural-and-music register.
- South Congress painted commercial · 12-22 days
Riverside south to Oltorf. Painted commercial walls and indie retail storefronts. The rare Austin corridor with all-week pedestrian flow. Strongest paste-up neighborhood for retail, hospitality, and DTC briefs that want foot-level reach.
- Downtown scaffold + commercial · 10-18 days
Office and convention corridor. Commercial walls and construction scaffold. Reaches the corporate audience and concentrates SXSW convention crowds. Best for B2B launches and product reveals timed to event weeks.
- Rainey Street nightlife frontage · 10-16 days
Bar and nightlife frontage along the Rainey corridor. Evening and late-night foot traffic. The right register for beverage, music, and lifestyle briefs targeting the going-out crowd.
- North Loop painted commercial · 12-20 days
Emerging residential-retail corridor north of campus. Painted commercial frontage on independent shops and venues. Works for local launches, food-and-beverage, and brands reaching the resident segment off the tourist track.
- The Drag campus retail · 10-18 days
Guadalupe along the UT campus edge. Campus retail frontage. The neighborhood for student-audience briefs: apps, apparel, events, and anything keyed to the September-through-May academic calendar.
- Domain retail-residential · 12-18 days
North Austin retail-residential mix. Painted commercial and retail frontage in a planned shopping-and-living district. Works for premium retail, tech, and DTC briefs reaching the north-corridor resident and shopper segment.
- 6th Street entertainment frontage · 10-16 days
Historic entertainment corridor downtown. Entertainment frontage with heavy evening foot traffic. Pairs with East Austin for music and nightlife campaigns that want the historic-strip footprint plus the eastside mural register.
Austin questions.
The short version. The brief covers the rest.
Q · 01 Is wheatpaste advertising legal in Austin?
Permitted private-wall campaigns run with written owner consent, and we never touch public infrastructure: CapMetro transit, utility poles, traffic signs, or municipal right-of-way. Texas treats paste-up on a permissioned wall as a property-rights matter. Overlay districts in Downtown, East Austin, and South Congress carry distinct facade rules, and our compliance file tracks each one at the zip-code level. Zero municipal removals on record across 500+ documented installs since 2019.
Q · 02 How much does a wheatpaste campaign cost in Austin?
Wheatpaste in Austin starts at $3,500 per campaign with print and install included. Multi-neighborhood programs across East Austin, South Congress, Downtown, Rainey Street, and North Loop price up from the published floor. The final number depends on turnaround, size, location count, and combined service mix, and it tracks print volume and crew days, not the brand on the poster. SXSW week carries roughly a 25% premium on compressed install windows. Final quote returns in 24-48 hours. Full rate card is on our pricing page. No RFP gatekeeping.
Q · 03 Which Austin neighborhoods do you cover for paste-up campaigns?
East Austin, South Congress, Downtown, Rainey Street, North Loop, the Drag, the Domain, and 6th Street. East Austin carries the highest density of paste-friendly walls (roughly fifty active brick and venue walls along East 6th and Cesar Chavez between I-35 and Pleasant Valley). South Congress holds the walkable retail strip. Downtown concentrates the corporate audience and SXSW convention crowds. Rainey covers nightlife and the Drag covers the UT student audience. Each neighborhood has distinct property-owner relationships and surface specs on file.
Q · 04 How fast can an Austin campaign launch?
Seven to fourteen days from creative lock to first wall during normal weeks. Same-week is doable when print files are press-ready. East Austin property coordination is fast because the mural corridor keeps venue and gallery owners open to visual work. SXSW, ACL, and F1 timing needs 30 to 45 days of advance booking because event-week property coordination and crew scheduling tighten dramatically.
Q · 05 Does SXSW timing change campaign performance?
Significantly. SXSW reshapes Austin foot traffic for two weeks in March. Downtown, East Austin, and the convention corridor see a global audience of brand managers, founders, music-industry staff, and cultural press. Campaigns timed to SXSW pick up earned social pickup at a multiplier no other Austin moment delivers. ACL (two October weekends) produces the same effect for music, and F1 weekend (November) pulls a global luxury-and-motorsport crowd. Plan installs 30 to 45 days out for any of these windows.
From $3,500. 5-7 days, brief to first paste.
Printing and installation both included. Most shops do one or the other. Every wall is scouted, hand-pasted, and GPS-photographed the day it goes up.
