Established in 2019, Tbilisi Mural Fest<\/a> has a deceptively simple goal: to turn Georgia\u2019s capital city into one huge public gallery. For the artist-organizers, who also create works under the moniker TMF Studio, contemporary murals have the ability to transform unsightly, blocky developments into giant works of art. The paintings are not only a pleasure to look at but also create a more inviting urban environment.<\/p>\n

With a few exceptions, much of the recent work created for the festival<\/a> is representational, showing people engaged in activities like harvesting grapes or dancing. International artists bring a variety of styles to often narrow, vertical compositions, adorning the sides of multilevel buildings. <\/p>\n

Through a wide range of figurative, geometric, or abstract styles, Tbilisi\u2019s mural program is expanded each year, engaging viewers in both commercial and residential areas. Find more on the festival\u2019s website<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n
