Boulder’s second annual mural festival, Street Wise Boulder, just ended this past Sunday but the 39 murals the 39 artists painted will continue to color every shop exterior, alley and street they touch.
We took a tour of the festival’s activism-based murals, some in various stages of completion, and have documented most of them here. We also spoke to several artists on site about their design concepts — check out our IGTV mini mural series!
