In And Around The BLOX - March 2024
Donate your wall to the Beltline Urban Mural Project!
Calling all Building Owners! The 2024 BUMP Festival is seeking new walls in Calgary’s Beltline. Housing a mural on your building makes it an important landmark in the city.
With every new mural BUMP programs, they not only allow an artist to create a beautiful art piece that belongs to the public, but also re-imaginine your space and how it fits into our growing city.
BUMP murals can lead to:
- More awareness about your space
- Increased customers to local businesses
- A well-connected community
- Increased interest from visitors to Calgary
- A more beautiful neighbourhood
- Civic pride & responsibility
- Decreased risk of tagging & vandalism
Please read BUMP Festival's 2024 Mural Wall Donation guide for more details & frequently asked questions. You can submit your wall for consideration to the 2024 BUMP Festival through this intake form: https://forms.gle/bJYfrivbMbzBh4ZH9
If you know of a wall we should have our eyes on, please contact projects@beltlineyyc.ca!
