Artist Applications Are Now Open!

Waterford Walls is Ireland’s leading street art and mural festival, transforming the city of Waterford into an open-air gallery through large-scale murals, graffiti, street art and creative projects. Since its inception, the festival has brought artists from Ireland and around the world to Waterford, creating an ever-growing collection of public art and connecting artists with communities across the city.

We’re now looking for large-scale muralists, graffiti writers and street artists from across the globe to join us for the 13th edition of Waterford Walls in 2027.

We’re also inviting applications from emerging artists to take part in our Emerging Artists Programme, providing up-and-coming talent with the opportunity to develop their practice, gain experience and showcase their work as part of the festival.

Whether you’re an established international artist or an emerging artist ready to make your mark, we want to hear from you.
