RICHMOND MURAL PROJECT: 10 Muralists. 2 Weeks. 20 Murals throughout the City of Richmond
Art Whino returns to Richmond, VA for the third installment of the Richmond Mural Project. After completing 48 murals since the project started, Art Whino will work with some of the top muralists from around the world to curate another round of breathtaking murals.
Last year brought an incredible amount of press coverage and the murals made it on top lists such as Buzzfeed, which ranked the Etam Cru mural #3 on their 2013 list of Best Street Art In The World. Bringing Richmond some of the greatest variety in mural work, just as in past years, is key to the project’s success, and the selection of artists will feature a dynamic range of styles and subject matter to create a unique experience for visitors and locals.
The creation of more than 20 murals this year will bring the number to over 68 throughout the city, further establishing the Richmond Mural Project as one of the finest in the country. This edition will continue to build Richmond’s reputation as a go-to destination for murals, which incite exploration of the city through weekend visits and further discovery of Richmond City by those who live and love in it.
HOW YOU CAN HELP!
We have secured funding to bring 5 artists to the city this year. With your help on our 2014 Kickstarter campaign, we hope to increase the lineup to 10 muralists–and if we surpass our goal, we will increase the number of muralists beyond our initial goal of 10. The current money goal set is per muralist. Double it and we can bring two more muralists. Triple it and we can bring three and so forth!
