The Oakland Mural Festival, presented by Bay Area Mural Festival is the same festival we have put on the past two years but with a slight name change. This is to be sure folks know this event is happening in Oakland, but we have the same community oriented approach. Think of this as the Oakland edition of BAMFest.
Oakland Mural Festival will use the mural arts to engage East Bay youth, local Bay Area artists and the Oakland community through beautification and placemaking activities. The festival will call attention to social issues, honor the legacy of Oakland’s historically industrial waterfront, and celebrate Oakland’s cultural identity.
