San Jose Walls 2022

SJ Walls returned as a mural festival bringing 17 local artists to paint nine new murals along the Guadalupe River Park in downtown San Jose. The event included an art show at Empire Seven Studios, live painting by artists, a pop-up market, and a mural tour ride. This internationally renowned public art and culture festival embarked on its sixth year this past May and was the first festival among the worldwide network to center the murals along a natural waterway.

The Guadalupe River Art Walk is to inspire a shared vision of the Guadalupe River Park and Gardens as a natural public art gallery by creating a series of new art installations that become a permanent cultural destination in downtown San Jose. With a robust collection of existing artworks and opportunities for future murals in and around the Guadalupe River Park, the Art Walk aims to highlight underrepresented and evolving stories of community, resilience, and inspiration.
