The Southtown Court murals are a series of 10 murals on retaining walls in the Southtown Court housing project in Birmingham's Southside. They were painted in July and August 1981 the Housing Authority of the Birmingham District commissioned a series of ten murals from artist Vance Wesson for Southtown. Of them, the most familiar extends along a retaining wall on the University Boulevard edge of the project, a brightly-colored sequence featuring flowers and plants. Other murals face the playground and the day care center.
The Downtown Church organized a volunteer effort to restore some of the murals in November 2007.
