Macon Mural Festival 2024

The 2024 Macon Mural Festival aims to brand Macon, GA as a vibrant and creative destination. The festival is seeking artists to participate in this 3-day event from September 13-15, 2024. Each participating artist will be given a prepped wall to complete their mural and will receive a $2,500 stipend plus $500 for supplies. The festival will provide lodging for all artists. Murals can be open theme but must be approved by the business that sponsors the wall.

Artists will arrive in Macon on Thursday, September 12th. A kick-off breakfast will be held on Friday, September 13th, followed by all-day painting on Friday and Saturday. Murals will be unveiled on Saturday, September 14th at the MMF Celebration Party. One artist will be selected as the featured artist in residence and will receive lodging, the largest wall, a higher stipend for mural materials, and the most press coverage for the event.

Selected artists must provide their own transportation and materials, apply graffiti coating at the end of the festival, and provide their own lodging and meals (except the featured artist in residence). Walls will be no larger than 20ft. x 20ft. Invited artists must submit concept drawings after wall/location assignments are given.
