August 2025

5 What to Watch • More mural festivals blending workshops, youth education, and exhibitions. • Street art residencies in museums with public-facing components. • Collaborative shows, where muralists join forces and maintain storytelling traditions. • Privately funded public galleries, like Sandrew’s exhibitions, merging street history with institutional critique. In 2025, street art is forging a new path. From alleys to galleries, its voice grows more inclusive and relevant. Artists now navigate lucrative exhibitions while retaining their urban roots. The movement signals that authentic, community-based art can thrive within high culture. Street art is no longer confined—it shares walls with the world.
