The Art Wash
Half laundromat, half gallery — 100% Orbisonia. Meet the mural that started it all.
Featured Art
In 2021 we asked a local artist — Jasmine Baker — to paint one wall of the laundromat. A month later she’d filled every wall, machine panel, and ceiling tile with a color story built around soap, water, and small-town joy.
Since then, the Art Wash has become a permanent rotating gallery. A new local artist takes over one wall every quarter. And every load of laundry helps fund the next commission.

This season’s wall — an eight-foot tribute to fairy-tale characters granting small, Orbisonia-specific wishes. Sample wishes: "let the biscuits stay warm longer," and "let winter be short."
