This year, OverAll Walls proudly produced Blaine’s first OverAll Walls Mural Festival in September, bringing world-class art to our small seaside town. With immense gratitude to our talented artists and generous supporters, Blaine is transforming into a vibrant canvas of creativity.
We were honored to host My Dog Sighs (UK), Emily Ding (Houston), and Kaa Shaayi (Ferndale). My Dog Sighs gifted us three incredible murals: his mesmerizing “Eyes” on the Blaine Art Gallery and Blaine Elementary School, and the poignant “Quiet Little Voices” below street level on the Blaine Bouquets wall – with delightful 3D water droplets down on the left.
Emily Ding brought her magic to the G Street Plaza/Bella Boutique and Consignment wall with a breathtaking sandpiper mural, celebrating Blaine’s natural beauty. Kaa Shaayi added a striking tribal design to the back of the Blaine Art Gallery, honoring cultural heritage and artistry.
A heartfelt thank you to the Blaine Tourism Advisory Committee, the city of Blaine and The Northern Light publication for their unwavering support, and to all our sponsors and volunteers who helped bring this vision to life. See all of our supporters at overallwalls.com/2024-overall-walls-thanks.
Looking ahead to 2025, we’re excited to add even more murals to Blaine’s cityscape and schools, inspiring creativity and community pride. Our five-year goal will have Amtrak reopen its Blaine station, giving travelers many reasons to disembark and discover the beauty that is our wonderful city. Mark your calendars for next year’s festival, August 27-September 3, and consider supporting or volunteering by emailing margaret@overallwalls.com.
Here’s to another year of color, connection and creativity in Blaine!
