The New Murals
Every year in Edmonton we host several artists who travel in to spruce up our buildings with brand new murals.
I’ve always loved murals and these new ones are fantastic.
Do you ever wondered how these folks actually create these gigantic works? I do and I still can’t figure it out.
The murals below are all on one building. Crazy details!
Some of the artists besides our local choices are from Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, and Salt Spring Island.
About the Festival….
It ran from August to September 15th.
According to their information page the Mural Festival works year round to create public murals and large-scale installations within the greater Edmonton area.
Their community events and education partners help create mentorship and educational opportunities for aspiring local artists and the public.
Through collaboration and partnerships they connect Edmonton to the international mural community while uplifting local artists to ensure that our city and province have a distinctive and authentic voice on the international mural stage.
I had fun driving around and tried to take photos of the newest ones (to me anyway) that I could find.
They really are incredibly beautiful and can turn a dreary alley into a work of art!
