10 Murals • 10 Artists • 10 Years of Creative Expression
A decade of color, creativity, and collaboration comes to life this fall as Big Walls Big Dreams marks its 10th anniversary in Houston. Through Nov. 2, 2025, the citywide mural festival returns with a bold, focused format – 10 murals by 10 artists in 10 days – celebrating ten years of artistic evolution.
Launched during Art Basel Miami in 2015, Big Walls Big Dreams has grown from a small creative experiment into one of America’s longest-running mural festivals. Produced by UP Art Studio, the festival has transformed blank walls into cultural landmarks — expanding from its Miami origins to its second home in Houston and preparing to launch its next chapter in Hawaii in 2026.
This milestone year also debuts a refreshed Big Walls Big Dreams visual identity, developed with Houston designer Mario Jaramillo of Robot Agency, signaling a new decade of creativity, connection, and evolution.
The 2025 edition features ten mostly local artists, each bringing a distinct voice and vision to walls across the city. Their works span realism, abstraction, graffiti, and design — together reflecting the creative energy that defines Houston’s art scene.
“This anniversary isn’t about looking back — it’s about celebrating how far creativity can go when artists are given freedom and support,” said Elia Quiles, Co-Founder of UP Art Studio and Festival Producer. “Each artist brings their own story, style, and point of view. That’s the real spirit of Big Walls Big Dreams.”
