SJ Walls this April 30-May 8!
Heading into our fifth year, the Guadalupe River Park Conservancy and San Jose Walls will continue expanding the Art Walk by bringing 17 local artists for nine new installations at four different sites along the trail, which is located on a low-line below the city’s street level. This will be the first festival among the Worldwide network to center the murals along a natural waterway. Our shared vision is to use the Guadalupe River Park and Gardens as a natural public art gallery to create a series of new art installations that become a permanent cultural destination in downtown San Jose.
The event includes an art show at Empire Seven Studios gallery soft opening, live painting by artists, a pop-up market, and a mural tour ride.
Our new colorway is inspired by the Chinook Salmon, which can be found in the Guadalupe River. We added accents of grey and texture to reflect the urban concrete and grit of the city that this beautiful landscape is nested in. This colorway represents a balance of hard and soft experiences within the GRPC.
