Tbilisi Mural Fest's Dynamic Murals Brighten the Sides of Buildings Throughout the City

"Established in 2019, Tbilisi Mural Fest has a deceptively simple goal: to turn Georgia's capital city into one huge public gallery. For the artist-organizers, who also create works under the moniker TMF Studio, contemporary murals have the ability to transform unsightly, blocky developments into giant works of art. The paintings are not only a pleasure to look at but also create a more inviting urban environment."

"With a few exceptions, much of the recent work created for the festival is representational, showing people engaged in activities like harvesting grapes or dancing. International artists bring a variety of styles to often narrow, vertical compositions, adorning the sides of multilevel buildings. Through a wide range of figurative, geometric, or abstract styles, Tbilisi's mural program is expanded each year, engaging viewers in both commercial and residential areas."

Artist-organizers operating as TMF Studio use contemporary murals to transform unsightly, blocky developments into large-scale works of art that beautify facades and create more inviting urban environments. Much recent festival work is representational, depicting people harvesting grapes or dancing. International artists contribute diverse styles adapted to often narrow, vertical building faces, adorning multilevel exteriors. The program expands annually across commercial and residential areas, employing figurative, geometric, and abstract approaches to engage viewers.
