MURAL FEST 2025
Help us bring the 2025 Mural Festival to reality! Painting supplies, artists, bands, permits, etc. it all adds up. We will gladly accept any donation that will be tax-deductible.
To kick off our fundraising efforts, Vice Mayor Linda Moore and her staff have generously offered to create a 5-course wine and cocktail dinner event complete with live painting, silent auction, and more ways that you can have fun, and support the art!
