Big Walls Big Dreams
November 2022
Welcome to the vibrant Big Walls Big Dreams Houston All City mural-painting festival. This November in Houston, a group of local, national, and international artists, curated by UP Art Studio, will simultaneously paint 60+ large-scale murals in communities throughout the city. This festival experience will also include programming such as events, workshops, an art show, meet and greets, tours, and more.
Be the first to see the murals being finished, the weekend of November 18-21 using our suggested self-guided tour routes. Make a fun (and safe) day of it with a visit to a park, trail, outdoor restaurant, or other attractions in the mural neighborhoods.
Or, visit the murals in progress any time during the week (starting November 5) to watch creatives at work. Dates and times will vary – check @bigwallsbigdreams on Instagram for live updates.
Houston B-cycle is providing free bikes and 30 minute rides all month (November 2022) for festival-goers, with code BWBD22, via the B-Cycle app.
