Take a tour of the Fernwood Mural Festival murals
Fernwood NRG and FernFest brought you the very first Fernwood Mural Festival. In June 2021, local artists created over 10 new large-scale murals throughout Fernwood, North Park, Oaklands, and South Jubilee. We believe public art creates a tangible sense of place and identity while adding life and character to public space and creating a visual legacy. Murals bring artistic richness to our streets.
You are invited to explore our streets on foot or by bike and take our self-guided tour of murals. Find a map of the murals here. To see interviews with and learn about each of the artists here.
