I don't have the words to properly describe how I feel about our SECOND BLKout Walls Festival. (I'll come back in a few days with the dissertation version of my feelings) So for now, I'm going to set this video created by one of my lady loves @iam_selectra here as the general recap of the happenings throughout the week! I can NOT Thank the sponsors and community supporters, Artists and the small business canvases enough for collectively making this happen! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU @labeltheagency @askjennyfer @thekresgefoundation @citywallsdetroit @knightfdn @vans @song.foundation @therealdapcep @vanguarddetroit @halima_afi I hope you enjoy! by @blkoutwalls

Hello all! It is with my deepest regrets, We have to cancel our Blkout Walls Oakland, CA that was to take place in Late September. We truly Thank you for your support of the BLKOUT Mural Festival - Oakland '22! Despite the team's best efforts, we must cancel this year's Mural Festival. This difficult decision is the result of losing critical corporate sponsors. The recent rescinding of funding significantly impacted the finances, and we are committed to producing quality events.

The current economic climate continues to affect everyone, including the business sector. The team worked hard to identify new sponsors; unfortunately, those efforts were unsuccessful, given this point in the planning stage.

We are however incredibly excited about returning to Detroit on 2023 and look forward to sharing more information soon. STAY TUNED!
