The Nelson and District Arts Council is excited to present the fifth Nelson International Mural Festival happening August 11th, 12th, 13th, 2023 throughout Nelson, BC.

Cultural vibrancy in Nelson continues to flourish under the festival’s engagement of street artists, muralists, creators, and art enthusiasts joining the festival from the local, national, and international art scene. Through large scale public artworks, educational opportunities, and by animating the public sphere with reflections of local cultures, histories, and stories, the NDAC furthers and fortifies collaboration amongst artists, businesses, and community members. The festival is inclusive of all cultures, genders, ages, and abilities. The NDAC strives to create a barrier-free festival by hosting all events at accessible public spaces and offering all events and activities free of charge.
