Business For The Arts Broward To Host Inaugural Art Walls Mural Fest

Twelve local NonProfits will be paired with one of 12 established and emerging artists to create 8-foot-by-8-foot murals inspired by each organization’s mission. Additionally, youth from the participating nonprofits will paint their own murals as an interactive experience designed to foster creativity and artistic self-expression.

The festivities kick off with a special BFA Art & Spirits presented by BBX Capital celebration on Thursday, February 26th, 2026 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the BBX Capital Gallery, a showcase of participating artists and organizations, with an exclusive liquor tasting and art exhibition with BFA’s sponsors and supporters.
