This summer, Art Walk Edmonds is inviting the community to experience downtown Edmonds in a whole new way with a free series of guided mural tours taking place in June, July, and August.

Beginning at 5:30 p.m. in the courtyard Main Street Commons (550 Main St), each monthly walking tour will highlight a different theme and explore the stories woven throughout Edmonds’ growing collection of public murals.

The August 20 tour explores “The Art of the Mural,” examining a variety of mural styles and how artists adapt their work to complement building architecture. Guests will visit murals throughout upper Main Street and Fifth Avenue, with organizers hoping to include a behind-the-scenes look at the newest mural due to be installed this summer!

‍‍All tours are free and open to the public. Comfortable walking shoes are encouraged.

The murals, tours, and community art experiences created by Art Walk Edmonds are made possible by people who love this community and believe in keeping the arts accessible to everyone. Funding comes primarily from the organization’s popular Summer Wine Walks along with generous support from individual donors, grants, and local business sponsors. If you’d like to help bring more public art and creative experiences to Edmonds, donations can be made here.
