Press release from the Live Art Walls Project:

The Live Art Walls project is calling on the community to help fund this year’s large-scale public art installation, set to take place during the CannaFest festival August 30-31 2025.

Fifty new murals will be painted along the quarter-mile retaining wall at Halvorsen Park, located along Waterfront Drive in the Eureka Cultural Arts District. The wall has become one of the city’s most visible rotating art galleries, featuring work from local and visiting artists of all skill levels. Outside of installation days, the public gallery remains free and accessible, created by the people and for the people. It stands as a visual representation of rich community diversity.

Before artists can start painting, the wall needs to be “buffed” — a process of covering the old artwork with a fresh coat of exterior paint. Organizers say they need 20 gallons of white exterior paint plus basic supplies to prepare the surface.

Community members can contribute in two ways:

• Make a financial donation through the project’s GoFundMe page

• Donate paint directly to the project coordinator

“This project is powered by the community,” said Live Art Walls coordinator Phyllis Barba. “The artists volunteer their time and talent, but we still need the materials to make it happen.”

Live Art Walls operates under the Ink People’s DreamMaker Program. Funds raised will be used directly to prepare the wall for this year’s murals.

The annual project has helped position the Eureka Cultural Arts District as a hub for creative expression in Humboldt County.
