Nine New Murals Coming to Ink Underground in Street Art Festival

 Back for its second installment, the Underground Mural Project – powered by National Development and curated by Street Theory Gallery – returns to bring together the very best in street art, music, diversity and community to Underground at Ink Block, an epicenter of culture and creativity nestled between the South End and South Boston neighborhoods and under the Expressway.

The first installment of seven murals in 2017 (also curated by Street Theory) created a huge buzz in the public art and  South End community, and put Underground on the map as a major destination on Boston. In the last two weeks of June, starting this week, nine additional murals will be installed, creating a public display of 16 large street art murals by local, national and internationally renowned artists.

The artists began working on Friday, June 14, and they will conclude on June 29 in a community block party celebration.

The Underground Mural Project will gather and celebrate creative do-ers through a week of arts programming, education, one-of-a-kind activations and the block party that celebrates a blossoming appreciation for street art as public activation and artistic expressionism.
