Site-specific artwork and designed spaces for Red Deer, from a Calgary studio about ninety minutes down the highway.
Red Deer sits halfway between Calgary and Edmonton and serves a large region of central Alberta. It has a growing downtown, a city public art collection, and retail destinations like Bower Place that draw shoppers from across the region. KINN Studios is an artist-led experiential design studio based in Calgary, about an hour and a half south by road, and we design murals, installations, activations and interiors for Red Deer businesses, property owners and public spaces.
Our work in Calgary and Airdrie, including retail murals, restaurant murals and a 100-metre community public art mural, is a good guide to how we would approach a project here.
For projects in Red Deer we plan site visits, mockups and installation into a small number of trips, and we state travel costs clearly in the proposal.
Interior murals for restaurants, cafes, clinics and retail, and exterior murals for downtown side walls and commercial buildings, designed for the specific wall and central Alberta weather.
Responses to City of Red Deer public art calls and developer commissions, from concept through fabrication drawings and installation.
Temporary builds for Bower Place, downtown events and festival periods, designed for transport from Calgary and clean installation and removal.
Artist-led interior design for restaurants, salons, med spas and retail, with concept renderings, material selection and remote coordination through buildout.
Set design and spatial planning for launches, galas and private events in Red Deer venues.
Red Deer briefs usually come from a business owner with a wall or a new space, a property manager at a retail centre, or the City of Red Deer through its public art program. Commercial projects move at the pace of the client. Public art calls follow the timeline and criteria the City publishes.
Exterior murals in Red Deer may need a development permit depending on the zoning and whether the work is treated as a sign under the City of Red Deer Land Use Bylaw. Interior murals typically do not need a permit. We check what applies and prepare the application with the property owner.
For budgets, travel is a smaller factor than in Edmonton because the drive is shorter. We state it separately so a Red Deer client can compare our proposal fairly.
If you would like a sense of the numbers before we talk, our mural pricing guide and interior design cost guide are a good starting point. To see the full range of what we do, visit Services or read about the studio.

Yes. Red Deer is about an hour and a half from our Calgary studio. We plan site visits and installation into a small number of trips and include travel in the proposal.
Interior murals usually need six to ten weeks from approval to completion once travel is planned. Exterior murals should be booked over the winter for painting between May and September. Public art calls follow the City of Red Deer timeline.
Yes. We research whether a development permit or sign permit applies under the City of Red Deer Land Use Bylaw, prepare the drawings and submit with the property owner. Interior murals typically do not require a permit.
Tell us about the space and we will come back with a clear next step.
