BRUSH Mural Festival, founded in 2022 by three local muralists, is Baltimore's very own hyper-local mural festival dedicated to empowering the city’s muralists.

Created for artists, by artists, BRUSH’s mission is to uplift the artistic community by providing opportunities for education, engagement, and employment. We focus on fostering economic independence among Baltimore's muralists through a comprehensive workforce development program that enhances financial literacy, facilitates mentorship, and offers creative business resources. Artists are given the chance to unleash their creativity on murals, enjoying the freedom to express their vision while adhering to collaborative guidelines.

In addition to supporting artists, BRUSH Mural Fest strives to deepen the community's appreciation for public art by transforming Baltimore's landscape into a colorful tapestry of creativity and expression. We engage the public through initiatives like our Muralist Roster and Community Paint Day, which invite residents to connect with the diverse muralist community. We believe in the transformative power of public art and prioritize community over competition, ensuring fair standards in payment and contracts. By focusing solely on Baltimorebased artists, we aim to keep economic development within the local creative sector and celebrate the unique voices that contribute to the city's artistic identity.
