Why I started it
In 2015 I saw a wall in Bogotá painted with a boy playing a trumpet under the words “Art for Life”. I came home, invited artists and asked my neighbours for their walls.
What it is
The Mural Festival opens Art Week. Artists paint new murals on walls offered by neighbours and businesses, and the walls stay.
Over the years the town has become an open-air gallery that people come to see all year, which is what Forbes noticed in 2019.
