The Wide Open Walls mural festival returns Aug. 9 and we’re hearing the first details on who’s painting what and where.
Shepard Fairey will adapt an iconic photo by Jim Marshall of Johnny Cash for the Residence Inn wall facing Folsom State Prison, Michele Murtaugh will paint four silk aerialists on the Elks Tower and Aik Brown is focused on the concept of “home is where the heart is” for the St. HOPE Home Office in Oak Park.
In anticipation of the 10-day event featuring 40 local, national and international artists, I’ve curated a guide to the existing murals created during the last two summers.
My tour starts near the River District, through downtown and midtown, to East Sacramento, along Power Inn Boulevard, from South Sacramento to Oak Park, along Broadway to Southside Park, and ending in R Street Corridor. Along the way, you’ll see 51 murals from the Sacramento Mural Festival of 2016 and Wide Open Walls of 2017.
My recommendations will direct you to the murals by car and by foot. You could certainly bring a bike along for certain segments of the tour. Make sure to use the hashtag #wideopenwalls916 when sharing photos.
If you’d like to see the murals with a guide, check out Sac Tour Company and Sacramento Cycling Tours.

In the artist’s own words: “I don’t know if most people know the legend behind the koi fish,” Conrad explained to The Sacramento Bee. “But the reason why they have so much significance in Eastern culture is because there’s a legend that 100 golden koi fish tried to swim up a waterfall on the Yangtze River, and all of them began as a team, but one by one, as years wore on and the gods kept raising the waterfall, they gave up. Except one tenacious koi fish who refused to turn back and ended up swimming into the mouth of a cave and it flew out a dragon. It became much larger than it began.”

One thing I really did about this piece is the color palette. I think it works together and catches the eye from the street.”

Alphonse Mucha – he was kind of a founder of the art nouveau movement, and it was always very kind of feminine and swirly and fluid.”

I like that. It’s kind of a free association – everybody’s got their own interpretation. But I’m sort of just making the work. It’s an aesthetic that I enjoy, whether it’s the harmony of the lines, the meditative act of repetitious line drawing. Maybe it’s the closest thing I have to meditation.”
