Mural Fest - 2026

This is my first year doing Mural Fest - I’m excited and nervous!
I’ve never done a mural and it’s a whoooolllllle different ballgame from small studio painting!
The camaraderie and the challenge is 100% part of the fun.
Mural painting is physically demanding - we will be working all day for two days in the heat. But I’m hydrating, stretching, prepping and will be ready for action.
Think of it like the World Cup, but for artists. Except it doesn’t cost $1000s to attend - it’s free!
And also not a competition - we’re highlighting individual expression!
The VIBES are HIGH though -like sports.
And I won't say that Mural Fest is full of hot international athletes like the World Cup, but I won’t say it’s not either. You just need to come down and judge for yourself!

Held at ScienceWorks Hands-On Museum
1500 E. Main Ashland, OR

Saturday & Sunday, June 20 & 21
10-6 pm
free - all ages

Come see 26 artists make 8' x 8’ murals in TWO days!

It’s a PARTY

The theme is BELONGING.

These murals will be up at ScienceWorks in the courtyard all summer. ScienceWorks is a community hub that hosts activities and camps for children and families.

Below are the three designs I came up with for my mural.

Which do you think I should do?

Come down this weekend to see which design I create!

For the art/sports fans at home, I’ll share the winning design next week including photos of the mural.
