Returning for its ninth year,  the SHINE St. Petersburg Mural Festival once again ignites the City of the Arts with a diverse collection of public art from renowned local, national and international mural artists.

October 13-22, 2023

The festival, which has received widespread international attention, is an outdoor art exhibition aimed at celebrating art for art’s sake. During SHINE, 14 new murals plus a series of Bright Spot community mural projects will be added to the art districts and surrounding neighborhoods of St. Petersburg’s downtown. Use the 2023 mural map (released in October) to find the artists as they create or visit during the final weekend to see the completed works of art!
