Paint Jam / Street Concert

The Paint Jam / Street Concert will be an early evening kick-off to the festival culminating event.

This event will begin at 5pm on Friday (8/16) and guests will be invited to enjoy live musical and artistic performances, festival vendors, and the thrill of creating mural art alongside others!

The Paint Jam / Street Concert will be taking place along Bell Street and 2nd Avenue — and will provide visitors of all ages an opportunity to interact with the local neighborhood and artist community — and we promise a few surprises throughout the event as well!

All Festival activities are FREE and open to the public — so come out and celebrate the completion of 10 stunning new murals that transform Belltown!

Featured attractions include:

Showcase Painting — A team of public artists will be putting their talents on display working to create a 100' long mural live during the two days of the street festival!

Community Painting — A series of public to paint walls will be scattered throughout the festival footprint to provide an open invitation for the visitors to create their own works of art during the festival weekend!

Artist Exhibitions — A series of special artist exhibitions and demonstrations will be part of the Paint Jam / Street Concert programming. Details are TBD — we want it to be a surprise!

Musical Performances — Live musical sets include: Bernee Luv (5pm-7pm), Seals and Real (6pm-8pm), DJ Sureal (7pm-9pm)

Festival Vendors:  Dozens of local vendors, artists, and community organizations will be on hand throughout the festival footprint sharing information and selling amazing goods!
