Pose, Dalek, Vizie, Hense, Jeff Soto, El Kamino, Richard Colman, Ryan McGinness, Susan Whittier, Heide Trepanier, and more painted murals on a giant 18’ x 32’ wall on an old power plant building. The festival is planned to be a biennial event and the current murals are scheduled to remain for two years until the next festival in 2014.

The Real Deal

In the years since, 12ozProphet has evolved to become a platform for many of its most authoritative voices.
