The effort is turning blank walls into large-scale art. It's part of a mural festival called Paint The Grove.
"You get done and you see the transformation, you feel good by the accomplishment that you did, but also knowing that you left a place better than what it was before," Moberg said.
Julie Chapman works at Happy Garden Restaurant, one of the businesses getting a new mural makeover. She hopes it helps boost business.
Public art projects using taxpayer money typically require the artist to submit a rendering or statement detailing the proposed artwork before being selected. But not in Elk Grove.
"They are able to paint whatever their hearts desire because we think we'll get the best piece of work when they have the most artistic freedom," said Sara Rodrigues, the city's arts, culture and creative economy manager.
"These pieces will become part of our history immediately," he said.
The artists will continue working on the murals throughout the week. The event concludes on Saturday with guided tours in the morning and an art battle in the evening with local artists painting in front of a live audience.
