The San Jose Walls festival, a public art initiative, has transformed downtown San Jose into an urban art gallery, showcasing the city's vibrant mural culture. Founded by Juan Carlos Araujo and Jennifer Ahn, this event highlights the collaborative effort of artists, local organizations, and supporters to beautify the city. In its ninth year, the festival will focus on Japantown, aiming to uplift neighborhoods and celebrate cultural identity through public murals. It has successfully created over 100 murals, making a lasting impact on the community.
“What started out of necessity due to funding challenges and the loss of our physical gallery has now come full circle. We’ve helped create over 100 murals throughout San Jose, transforming once-blank walls into symbols of identity, culture, and resilience.”
“The weeklong celebration returns this weekend for its ninth year and it's safe to say that it's going to be bigger than ever.”
