CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — Downtown Corpus Christi is filled with color as Mural Fest is underway for the 3rd year in a row from June 3 through June 7.
You can watch artists bring five murals to life throughout the Downtown Corpus Christi’s Marina Arts District.
"Each mural captures the essence of Corpus Christi, blending in the fun, historic, and cultural vibes that make our city one-of-a-kind. So grab your crew, soak up the art scene, and get ready to kick off an awesome summer celebration together," said organizers.
One artist, Sonny "Sundancer" Behan, who is from South Africa, says his mural will take about a week to complete.
"Yeah, it's a great thing. It seems to be well received at the moment. I'm painting a mural of the Cattle Tyrant that's managed to get there from South America. It's a small bird that's hanging out in Corpus Christi that's caused attention," said Behan.
The 2024 National Mural Awards ceremony will be held on Saturday, June 8, at a VIP Wrap-Up Party, which is invite-only, according to organizers.
