Art Whino returned to RVA for the third installment of the Richmond Mural Project, and here’s the video which caught it all.

After completing 48 murals during the last mural project, Art Whino worked with 10 of the top muralists from around the world to curate another round of murals.

Last year brought an incredible amount of press coverage and the murals made it onto top lists such as Buzzfeed, which ranked the Etam Cru mural #3 Best Street art in the world of 2013.

Bringing Richmond a sampling of the great variety of mural work worldwide, just as in past years, is what the 2014 Richmond Mural Project was all about.

The selection of artists this year featured a dynamic range of styles and subject matter, creating a unique experience for visitors and providing a glimpse into a worldwide movement.

The creation of another 20 murals this year brought the number to over 68 throughout the city, further establishing the Richmond Mural Project as one of the East Coasts premier mural festivals.

Check out this amazing footage with behind the scenes insight into one of Richmond’s most famous art festivals:

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.
