DAIM Final Reveal

Monday August 22, 2022

Did you know that in June of this year for the 2022 BUMP Festival we created the tallest painted mural in the world? Take a look at these fully finished photos by Nick Coyne

Painted by the legendary German graffiti artist Mirko Reisser (DAIM) in collaboration with BUMP the mural stands at an official height of 310-ft, 9-inches (~95 metres). The BUMP Festival is proud to have been able to bring this landmark public art piece to Calgary and facilitate a project of this scale that brought together international and local artists. This mural further transforms our city into a place where ambitious and bold art works can be formed.

We’re proud of the local artists who assisted in this mural’s production under the mentorship of DAIM:
AJ Phler
JD War
Josh Creighton

FUN FACTS:

Mural height: 310-ft, 9-inches (~95 metres)
