The story

Ciudad Mural in Petare/Valencia and other cities

Ciudad Mural is an international muralism festival held across several Venezuelan cities, most prominently Petare's historic centre and Valencia's Centro Historico, turning building facades into an open-air street art gallery through week-long editions featuring dozens of Venezuelan and international muralists working side by side on shared civic walls.

In Petare, one of Latin America's largest and most densely populated informal urban areas, the historic centre's facades have become an unlikely canvas.

01

The place changes

Rather than staying in one city, Ciudad Mural travels between Venezuelan urban centres, having reached its 21st edition in Petare and a separate 23rd edition in Valencia, with organisers stating an aim to reach 500 completed murals nationwide by 2026, making it one of the country's more ambitious ongoing public art initiatives rather than a single-site annual event tied to one fixed location or a single group of resident artists
