Mural Fest 2023 Recap

Our second annual Mural Fest was a huge success in 2023. We worked with 4 national artists to beautify the downtown with 4 new large-scale murals. With the help of one of our partners, Better Block, and over 100 volunteers from the community, we banded together to paint a ground mural in Norma Urban Park. We celebrated with our community by hosting a ton of events, food, and fun over the weekend including: an enhanced ArtWalk MuralWalk, food trucks, live music, and so much more.

See all of the incredible work from MF’23 below!
