O-Town Walls 2026

OCTOBER 12–17, 2026

The movement continues.

The Movement

We are small business owners, real estate developers, and entrepreneurs with a passion for creativity and the arts.

What started as a bold idea to bring large-scale murals to beautify and identify the Arts District has evolved into a multi-faceted platform for creativity and community connection.

At the center of our platform is the Annual Mural Fest, a highly anticipated public art initiative that brings world-class murals and art installations to Ontario's downtown core. Supporting this flagship event is a calendar of monthly art festivals and a curated quarterly art magazine—providing consistent touchpoints between audiences, businesses, and the creative community.

We're not just curating art — we're curating a movement.

The Vision

To build a thriving, art-driven economy where creativity fuels commerce, culture, and community.

We envision a Downtown Ontario where art is not an afterthought — it's a strategic asset. A downtown where public walls tell stories, vacant spaces become creative experiences, and people come not just to observe, but to participate.

This is art with a purpose.

Our Mission

Arts Destination — Establish Downtown Ontario as the arts destination of the Inland Empire, drawing tourists, investors, and cultural audiences while providing year-round opportunities for artists, entrepreneurs, and small businesses to grow.

Community Hub — Support local artists at all stages of their creative journey by creating platforms that are accessible and act as a centralized hub for the community.

Building Beautification — Activate and energize public spaces through year-round creative programming and building beautification.
