Sunny Dayz Mural Fest

The Art Hall is honored to be a sponsor for Sunny Dayz Mural Fest!!!

The first-of-its-kind in Oklahoma, Sunny Dayz Mural Festival exists to empower, elevate and celebrate female and nonbinary artists and muralists through the creation and advocacy of public art.

Sunny Dayz seeks to uplift and support artists who have been subjected to inequity based on age, race, and gender. Our core values include a commitment to equitable opportunity and wages, dedicated wall space for “newbies” regardless of age, and the cultivation of our high school mentorship program that seeks to empower and educate female and nonbinary high school students interested in the arts.

This project was created in March of 2021 by Virginia Sitzes through the Oklahoma Mural Syndicate, a 501c3 nonprofit advocating for public art throughout the state of Oklahoma. Find more OMS projects and keep up to date with open calls at okmurals.org.
