Shore Walls Mural Festival - Artist Applications Open

We Are Limitless Studios is accepting artist applications for the inaugural Shore Walls Mural Festival, taking place May 26-30, 2026 in Salisbury, Maryland. This exciting opportunity invites artists of all backgrounds and experience levels to help bring five murals to life across the city.

The festival is particularly welcoming to newcomers, as one wall will be dedicated specifically to first-time muralists. This makes it an ideal opportunity for emerging artists looking to gain experience in large-scale public art. Founded by Brandon Bell, We Are Limitless Studios aims to celebrate the creativity and artistry of the Eastern Shore community.

The festival is seeking diverse talent across multiple levels: local artists from Salisbury, regional artists from anywhere in Maryland, and one national artist. This tiered approach ensures representation from the immediate community while also bringing in fresh perspectives from across the country.

A unique feature of the Shore Walls Mural Festival is the community wall, which allows anyone—not just selected artists—to participate actively in creating public art. This inclusive approach transforms spectators into live participants, fostering deeper community engagement with the arts.

The murals created during this festival will become lasting additions to Salisbury's urban landscape, providing long-term visibility for participating artists. This is an excellent opportunity for artists seeking to build their portfolio with permanent public installations while connecting with the Eastern Shore arts community.

Whether you're an experienced muralist or someone who has never painted on a large scale before, this festival offers a supportive environment to explore public art creation. The organizers emphasize their commitment to engaging both the community and muralists throughout the event.
