Not only does it inspire our members and employees\u2014it\u2019s also a big differentiator in the market and lets us support local artists and bring their work to a broader audience. We believe in it so much that we actually have six employees who work full-time with our interior-design team to develop, design, and install custom art and graphic pieces as well as work with local artists in each new city.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re taking it a step further by teaming up with <a href=\"http:\/\/news.1xrun.com\/wework-1xrun-curate-3-murals-joram-roukes-remi-rough-ellen-rutt\/\">1xRUN<\/a> to co-curate a series of murals in WeWork locations around the world. With <a href=\"http:\/\/news.1xrun.com\/new-mural-from-remi-rough-in-london-at-wework\">murals by 1xRUN alum Remi Rough<\/a> in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/locations\/london\/moorgate\">WeWork Moorgate<\/a> location in London and work by Ellen Rutt and Chema Skandal in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/locations\/chicago\/fulton-market\">WeWork Fulton Market<\/a> in Chicago, we were stoked to unveil Joram Roukes&#8217;s latest mural at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/locations\/amsterdam\/weteringschans\">WeWork Weteringschans<\/a> in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/Joram-Roukes-WeWork-1xrun-Mural-2.jpg\" alt=\"Joram-Roukes-WeWork-1xrun-Mural-2\" class=\"wp-image-4000132\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s really important for us to honor the original architecture and vibe of each location we move into, and what better way to pay tribute to the area than to incorporate the work of an awesome local artist? We love the way these indoor murals reflect the neighborhoods they\u2019re part of, and it\u2019s been great to incorporate local artists into the fabric of our spaces\u2014literally.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of our spaces have a rich history, and we like to complement that history with contemporary art. Art helps inspire our members and our employees; it can start conversations between strangers; and, to be honest, it\u2019s just supercool to have these amazing large-scale murals in our spaces. Not many small businesses with one or two employees can say that they have an original Joram Roukes or Jason Woodside mural in their office, but with WeWork, they can.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/Joram-Roukes-WeWork-1xrun-Mural-4.jpg\" alt=\"Joram-Roukes-WeWork-1xrun-Mural-4\" class=\"wp-image-4000133\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s awesome to see the members embracing the artwork and taking photos; and when they refer to the mural in their building, they call it \u201ctheir\u201d mural, which is great!<\/p>\n<p>We know that artists are constantly hustling and working to get their work seen and trying to make a living doing what they love, just like any other startup or small business, and it\u2019s important to us that we continue to support that.<\/p>\n<p>You can check out the full conversation I had with 1xRUN <a
