“Don’t have much to say that wouldn’t look better on a wall”
– BiP
Art belongs in public, and buildings are the best canvasses.
BUMP celebrates the diversity, talent and vibrant character of the Beltline through works of art that are thought-provoking, whimsical, awe-inspiring, creative and powerful. The 2018 murals will be painted this August ending with a 3-day festival of artist talks, mural tours, and an alley party.
