Wall Street Mural Festival
May 11 @ 12:00 pm - 7:00 pm
The Wall Street Mural Festival will be a Portsmouth celebration of the arts held on Saturday, May 11th from 12 – 7 PM.
The raindate will be the following Saturday, May 18th.
The festival location is the 400 block of Hatton Street and the adjacent private Wall Street in the new Innovation District; the entry to the festival is at the corner of Hatton Street and High Street.
Ten to twelve murals will be painted in the alley-like Wall Street by previously-juried artists while the other crowd activities will take place on Hatton Street. Several local bands and a DJ will pump out the music while activities such as 757 Street Art Battle, breakdancing, and skateboarding competition thrill the crowd.
Food trucks and a refreshment table with sodas, wine, and beer will provide ample nourishment. Artists will display and sell their works. SPPA will invite guests to show their artistic skills with a paint-by-number mural or play on your favorite arcade games.
Festival goers are encouraged to vote for their favorite mural and donate to the People’s Award, which will be given out later at 6 PM. For more information, check www.SPPAVA.org or call John at 757-582-5330.
