2022 Festival Announcement
We deeply regret to inform you of our difficult decision to cancel the 2022 Hub City Walls mural festival. Presenting an international mural festival requires a coming together of many partners: funders, the City, artists, community organizations, building owners, and others.
Our vision for this event was focused on community and tourism impact, BIPOC representation, and diversity of art. We are truly committed to this vision and committed to providing artists with the platform they deserve. Until we can create an international mural festival that is in line with our goals, we are pausing to pursue other community art opportunities.
We have so much gratitude for the over 200 artists and their amazing applications, and for our funders and their willingness to support public art in Nanaimo.
Sincerely,
Hub City Mural Society
(formerly Humanity In Community)
