MUral Fest
Mural Fest III — "Belonging"
ScienceWorks is thrilled to host the 3rd annual Mural Fest, organized and presented by Brothers Grime.
This year’s theme, Belonging, invites artists and visitors alike to explore what it means to feel connected to a place, a community, and one another.
For one vibrant weekend, the ScienceWorks plaza transforms into an open-air art studio as regional muralists create large-scale public artwork in real time. Watch blank walls become colorful works of art, meet the artists behind the murals, and experience creativity unfolding right before your eyes.
Come celebrate contemporary artists and the vibrant role that public art plays in shaping and reflecting our community.
