SJ Walls is a week-long public art festival where streets are transformed into an open-air gallery. Take the Guadalupe River Art Walk, for example—it’s growing with new installations that turn a simple trail into a vibrant corridor of murals. These artworks, inspired by the native habitat along the Guadalupe River Trail, connect people with both nature and creativity. Artists like Roan Victor and Kristina Micotti have contributed stunning pieces that brighten the area and strengthen community ties. These were part of the 2024 festival.
Through the Artist in Residency (AIR) program, world-class talent comes to San Jose, leaving behind murals that inspire resilience and spark inspiration. Beyond the visual art, SJ Walls hosts musical gatherings and educational programming, ensuring art is something everyone can experience. In Downtown San Jose, these efforts help create a sense of place and pride that resonates with residents and visitors alike.
As San Jose continues to grow, SJ Walls plays a vital role in shaping its identity. The initiative turns everyday spaces into sources of wonder, fostering a city where creativity thrives. SJ Walls 2025 runs until June 8th. To see which new murals are in progress, follow SJ Walls on Instagram.
