The Durango Creative District, in collaboration with its Granting & Projects Committee, is set to unveil the inaugural Durango Mural Festival in September 2024, coinciding with the second annual Durango Arts Month. This groundbreaking festival is poised to adorn five walls along the alley between 2nd Ave and Main Ave, spanning the blocks of 5th Ave, College Ave, 7th Ave, and 8th Ave. Enriched by the contributions of local and regional artists, the festival is not merely an artistic showcase but a dynamic platform to amplify the creative spirit of our community. Beyond its immediate impact, the Durango Mural Festival serves as the catalytic launch for a far-reaching initiative, envisioning the long-term transformation and beautification of downtown Durango's alleys.
