For ten days in October, a curated group of artists from around the globe will travel to Washington, DC to paint larger-than-life murals at our annual celebration of art and creativity. The outdoor festival launched originally in 2016, and is the local chapter of the World Wide Walls Family based in Hawai’i. The international mural festival returns under a new banner D.C. Walls. DC Walls is Directed and curated by artist Kelly Towles.
Since its founding in Hawai’i of 2010 by Jasper Wong, the festival has expanded and grown into a global network of artists. It organizes the production of art, exhibitions, lecture series, creative community spaces, schools for art and music, concerts, and live art installations across the globe.
For 2024 Festival DC Walls is thrilled to be collaborating with NASA.
