Oak Street alley mural festival spotlights Phoenix artists
Summary
A short segment of Phoenix en un minuto highlights a compact Phoenix street where local artists cover alleys with murals and notes an annual Oak Street Alley Mural Festival held since 2018 that invites new artists and local vendors.
Phoenix en un minuto, a short-format local program, described a block of Phoenix where alleys between Oak and Cypress streets are filled with murals and public art that showcase local history and popular culture.
The program noted that the Oak Street Alley Mural Festival has taken place annually since 2018 and invites new artists to create murals and local vendors to participate. "Cada año, desde el 2018, se celebra el festival del Mural del Callejón de Oak Street ... donde se invitan a nuevos artistas a crear arte en los murales, tenderos locales con su propio arte y mucho más," Presenter 2 said.
Presenter 1 opened the segment saying, "Bienvenidos a Phoenix en un minuto, más o menos," and Presenter 2 described the alley murals as a "true hidden treasure in Phoenix," encouraging viewers to visit the site and pay attention to alleys between Oak and Cypress streets where additional murals appear.
The segment emphasized the compact nature of the site, saying artists use nearly every available surface to display work and that the murals depict city scenes, history and local culture as well as pop-culture–inspired pieces. The program framed the location as an accessible public-art destination rather than a formal gallery or museum.
No government actions, permits, funding amounts or institutional sponsorships were mentioned in the segment, and the program did not provide dates for the next festival or contact details for organizers.
