Event Series: Nelson’s Mural Festival
Nelson’s Mural Festival
Welcome to our Annual Celebration of Murals!
The Nelson and District Arts Council (NDAC) presents this fabulous annual event in Nelson BC. Through the festival NDAC seeks to increase the cultural vibrancy of Nelson by engaging local, national, and international street artists, muralists, creators and arts lovers through large scale public artworks and educational opportunities.
What is the Nelson BC Mural Festival?
Throughout the summer months, artists are invited to paint their specific mural for a few weeks until finished. As the murals are completed, a map is made with locations and directions to each piece. Local, national and international muralists are invited to come share their craft and beautify Nelson’s alleys.
All supplies and equipment for muralists are provided by the festival. The walls used are both public and private. Muralists are chosen by quality of skills and techniques, and the ability to communicate a unique vision, overall professionalism and presentation of ideas, appropriateness of artwork to the community, experience, and potential to successfully complete the project within the required amount of time.
