Join us for a Community Day in honor of our 2023 Summer Mural Series on Sunday, July 30!
Our Community Day will feature mural tours, an artist meet & greet, and a panel. More details will be announced.
Moe Gram (@mi_moegram) kicked off our Summer Mural Series with an installation of a new mural in partnership with Creature Comforts in June. Grow Love (@_growlove_), Danielle DeRoberts (@oneiromancy), Latasha Dunston (@jitterbug_art), and Will Barker (@willbarker.art) are in the process of painting murals at various locations throughout Downtown Boulder celebrating community and collective healing.
As we strive to emerge from a challenging time marked by isolation, loss, and uncertainty, art plays a crucial role in bringing people together and promoting healing and mutual care. The new murals will create space for reflection, connection, and healing.
The new Mural Series format offers a selection of thematic murals and includes creative collaborations, community events, and special activations. Inspired by our Street Wise Boulder Mural Festival and community projects, this format brings more community-informed and accessible mural projects to Boulder throughout the year.
Thank you to our sponsors and grantors for making the Summer Mural Series possible: Boulder Arts Commission (@boulderartsculture), Boulder County Arts Alliance (@boulder.county.arts.alliance), Create Boulder, FPA Gives, The Blogsmith (@blogsmithseo), Unico (@hellopearlstreet), Visit Boulder (@visitboulder), and Wana Brands Foundation (@wanabrands).
