the 2012 living walls conference is upon us! this year will be the world’s first all female street art conference. it features 26 female artists who are currently painting new murals all over the city!

the five-day conference includes film screenings, lectures, a huge block party & map release (which shows you where all the new murals are), and even a bike tour of the walls. all of which are free and open to the public! for a full schedule of events, head here.

at least two of the new pieces are in kirkwood, which is exciting! one is already finished in downtown kirkwood across from le petit marché where the marco steno mural used to be. here is a video with some making-of footage.

the other one is under the bridges at rocky ford & college/dekalb. there were 3 or 4 female artists prepping this wall yesterday, so i bet they will be painting it over the next day or two if you want to see out a work in progress!

be sure to check out the living walls vimeo page for daily video updates from this years conference!
