This art festival aims to transform public spaces with colorful and uplifting murals, showcase national talent, and integrate culture, youth, and environmental awareness in an inspiring experience of creative expression.  The event kicks off Thursday evening with an artist meet-and-greet at The Palms Hotel.  We are expecting more than forty artists, around 3/4 local to Costa Rica, and 1/4 coming from abroad.  They will be painting Friday - Sunday at eight different walls within the Coco community: off Coco's main street by Ferretería San Carlos; on the road to Ocotal by Super New China, Los Cartagos, and Taco Rosado; and off of carretera la Chorrera the Pelícanos beach entrance, Cabinas Chale, and Hotel Puerta del Sol.  The closing party will be at Zi Lounge Sunday evening with live DJs, MCs, and break-dancers.  All activities are open to the public free of charge, but if you’d like to make a contribution to support this initiative and help it become a regular event in Coco, you may do so via Sinpe or Paypal, or at the opening and closing events.  This festival is made possible with the sponsorship of Loop Colors and Artopia, and the generous support from local businesses and organizations receiving the artists including Anika Boutique Suites, Toro Blanco Hotel, The Palms Hotel, Hotel M&M Beach House, Hotel Colono Beach, Hotel La Puerta del Sol, Villa del Sol Boutique Hotel, Island Golf Cart Rentals, Ferretería San Carlos, ADICOCO, la Municipalidad de Carrillo, and La Asociación de Cultura.
