Street Wise Arts announces the artist lineup for its sixth annual Street Wise Mural Festival, taking place September 13-15 in Boulder, Colorado. Street Wise Mural Festival is a free event for all ages. The festival will bring at least 19 new murals to walls throughout Boulder. The artist lineup includes Colorado-based artists, several US-based artists, and one international artist.
In 2024, the Street Wise Mural Festival spotlights themes of environmentalism and climate action. Artists will create murals and public art projects that address this theme, humanizing climate change and its impacts, visualizing scientific data, and connecting viewers to climate scientists and activists. Ultimately Street Wise hopes artists will educate and empower community members to take action and inspire climate optimism.
Mural tours, art exhibitions, live music, panels and workshops, and additional community events will take place in conjunction with the installation and live painting of new murals. Events include mural walking and biking tours with Street Wise Arts and a VIP e-bike mural tour with JD’s Joyrides. Visit Eventbrite for tickets to festival events.
Street Wise will also continue to incorporate augmented reality and projection mapping to deepen storytelling and continue collaborations with digital artists. New programming includes live music and exhibitions in partnership with Roots Music Project and The Spark. Additional partners include GreenSheen Paint and 303 Boards.
Street Wise Mural Festival is made possible by grant support from Boulder Arts Commission, Visit Boulder, Create Boulder, and FPA Gives. Sponsors include Boulder Housing Partners, LJD Enterprises, Wana Brands & Wana Brands Foundation, and JD's Joyrides.
