The 2026 Maine Mural Festival
The 2nd annual Maine Mural festival turned out even better then the first year! We chose a cohesive "jungle theme" for all 5 of the walls and some incredible graffiti pieces, characters and collaborative scenes where painted throughout this 3 day event. I can't thank the artists enough for their tireless work to create an array of wild murals that are now on display for anyone who visits the area/city to enjoy for the next year. I can't wait to do this all over again next summer and continue to be able to bring all these talented artists together to create an ever-changing gallery of high-quality public art in Portland, Maine.
We painted for 3 days straight, morning till night (and then some), (Friday August 14th through Sunday August 16th) and created artwork on over 20,000 square feet of primed out wall. The 25 local and regional artists that attended this year were given full creative freedom and painted whatever they wanted. Among the photos below you will see an array of graffiti "pieces" (short for masterpieces) as well characters and various background elements that tie some of the pieces together in cohesive "productions" between artists.
A sincere THANK YOU and SHOUTOUT to Golden305 and the one and only KOBRA spray paint for sponsoring the paint again this year as well as showing up to the event with an array of gifts for the artists and their support of the entire event. It was an honor to have them in attendance this year and I very much look forward to continuing this partnership next year.

The 2025 Maine Mural Festival
The first ever Maine Mural Festival in 2025 was an absolute blast! I am very happy with the end results and am proud to say it went together smoothly and without any issues. It would not have been possible without all the artists, sponsors, food trucks, my friends and family, and the supporters of this event to whom I am extremely grateful.
A huge shout out to KOBRA spray paint for assisting in sponsoring the spray paint this year! The low pressure cans were easy to use and allowed everyone to create some incredible artwork over the course of this years Maine Mural Festival. I am very much looking forward to the next year's event and the role that KOBRA will play in it and the vibrant artwork yet to be created.
