Arts Council Oklahoma City is searching for talented artists from the Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) community to participate in the Fresh Paint Mural Project at the 58th annual Festival of the Arts.

In partnership with the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Fresh Paint Mural Project will connect five local, BIPOC artists with prominent art mentors in the Oklahoma City area. Those artists will collaborate with the mentors to create an 8’ x 8’ mural, with the artists having full creative freedom to paint a masterpiece of their choosing. This year, for the first time ever, murals will be displayed at the Festival of the Arts on April 25 – 28, 2024.
