“More than ever, we’ve seen the positive impact that public art and public space brings to communities. This has driven us to harness technology in a way that demonstrates the transformative power of art in our cities. Until we can reconvene, we will continue creating live experiences in public. We really hope this experiment brings joy and inspiration to everyone downtown and beyond.” – Andrea Curtis, interim VMF Executive Director.

Vancouver Mural Festival has come up with a safe way for art lovers to explore and discover public art. International artists from Tokyo, Vienna, Dallas, and Ho Chi Minh, along with ten artists from Vancouver, Squamish, Tsleil Waututh, and Musqueam, will be presenting their arts during the event.
