In what is expected to become an annual event, Midvale City hosted the first Midvale Main Street Mural Festival June 18. In a partnership with ALL CAPS Art Gallery, the city commissioned national and local artists to help transform buildings along Main Street into a vibrant arts attraction.

“Our goal is to make Midvale an Arts District,” said Aubrey Ruiz, Midvale community development executive assistant. “This is a great way to get started getting people involved.”

Visitors can pick up free pocket guide map that will lead them on a walking tour of the murals. To learn more about the artists including biographies, photos, and social media handles, visit
