NATIONAL MURAL DAY
Each year on the last Saturday in June, we celebrate National Mural Day to honor the vibrant and powerful art of murals and the artists who create them. From colorful street corners to towering cityscapes, murals bring people together, inspire dialogue, and add beauty to the spaces we share. On this day, we celebrate not only the muralists who pour their creativity into public spaces but also the communities that support and sustain these public art efforts. #NationalMuralDay
