2015 Richmond Mural Project - July 13 - 24, 2015
Art Whino returns to Richmond, VA for the Fourth installment of the Richmond Mural Project. With over 60 murals since the inception of the project, Art Whino will return bringing another 10 muralists for another round of murals. Entering the fourth year we have reached many milestones and the project has brought worldwide attention to Richmond, VA as a destination for Mural Lovers worldwide. Expanding on the body of murals we will be curating a dynamic range of styles and subject matter providing a glimpse into a worldwide movement in one city. In response to people's requests to expand the murals beyond the arts district we will be implementing kickstarters for specific neighborhoods to allow for the organic growth of the project as people rally together to dictate where the murals go.
MISSION: The Richmond Mural Project is a yearly event with the goal of creating over 100 murals by world renown talent in the first 5 years alone. The recurrence and solidification of the project throughout this time will establish Richmond as a landmark destination for internationally recognized murals and will create exposure for the city, establishing it as a premier art destination. By concentrating a large number of murals throughout the city the project will increase tourism and will bring the much needed “Feet on the Street” which will help local business thrive.
