The sixth annual installment of the festival will be held on Saturday and Sunday, October 16th and 17th.

Levi Ponce of Los Angeles will be this year’s featured mural artist and will paint a mural highlighting a Washington County native at the corner of Commerce and South Park Street. A second mural will be added at the corner of Commerce and Douglas Street by Brenham artist and high school art teacher, Brooke Trahan, along with the help of her students. The artists will begin installation on Friday, October 15th and will complete their works by Sunday, October 17th.
New this year, the festival will host an Art Dual where 12 street artists from across the state will compete against one another to win cash prizes. Artists will be voted on by festival attendees in a round robin style tournament. Each artist will paint a 4-foot by 8-foot size canvas, and the collection on display will be updated by the hour. The Art Dual is being held in partnership with Something Cool Studios founded by Luis Angulo, who was a featured artist in last year’s festival.
