The Northwest Mural Fest has extended the public input and voting period on mural themes until January 11th, 2022. The community is encouraged to share their input by voting for the themes they would like to see go up on the walls around The Dalles during the 2022 Mural Fest.

“We received lots of great input to the selection, and five themes were selected to become murals,” said the Northwest Mural Fest.

“We have since also worked to incorporate the public input into the new set of themes/ These themes will serve as inspiration for each mural lead to develop a mural design. Murals will mostly consist of images, with only very few words,” said the Northwest Mural Fest.

Here is the final mural themes selection list.
