Belltown Mural Festival
The inaugural Belltown Mural Festival was a celebration of art and community focused on the work of local artists creating stunning murals to enrich our city!
For one week in August 2024 local artists actively worked to transform blank walls into vibrant works of art. The festivities extended beyond murals to include a myriad of programs throughout Belltown.
Festivities included: Gallery Events, Outdoor Movies, Walking Tours -- and a multi-block Paint Jam and Street Festival in the heart of Belltown. See more @belltown.mural.festival

The 2024 Belltown Mural Festival was part of the Hope Corps Downtown Seattle Mural Project, a component of City of Seattle Downtown Activation Plan and in direct partnership with the Office of Arts & Culture working in partnership with six downtown neighborhood organizations.
The Belltown Mural Festival was designed, developed, and produced by Belltown United — with partnering support from the Downtown Seattle Association (DSA), Visit Seattle, SODO Business Improvement Area (SODO BIA), Seattle Chinatown International District Preservation and Development Authority (SCIDpda), and the Wing Luke Memorial Foundation.
Festival Partners include dozens of additional organizations and support from hundreds of individuals — coming together to create a truly collaborative and pridefully communal (inaugural) Belltown Mural Festival.
A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who offered support to help make this event a reality!!
