In 2024, the Street Wise Mural Festival will spotlight themes of environmentalism and climate action.

Ultimately we hope artists will educate and empower community members to take action and inspire climate optimism.

Panelists include 2024 muralists Oak Bloak, Apitatán, Catie Michel, K. Vuletich, and Dreamscape. Patrick Maxcy will moderate a discussion of the artists’ Street Wise murals and their environmental themes, activism, and community engagement.
