Downtown Orlando is getting a very vibrant coat of paint this weekend. The Orlando Mural Festival returns for another year of turning blank walls across our city center into canvases for large-scale local art.
This year’s slate of muralists includes Boy Kong, Christian Stanley, Andrew Spear, Delia Miller and Rebekah Unsworth, among many others. The festivities kick off Thursday at CityArts with a Third Thursday reception featuring art from previous years’ muralists before the paint spills into the streets over the weekend and a massive street party ensues.
The party features food and art vendors and a crew of DJs soundtracking the artists doing their beautification thing. Is this the glow-up downtown has been searching for?…
