About POW! WOW!

The name POW! WOW! was inspired by the color-filled pages of comic books. “POW!” being the impact that art has on a person. And “WOW!” being the reaction that art has on a viewer. Together they form POW! WOW!, (pow wow), which is a Native American term that describes a gathering that celebrates culture, music, and art. It spoke to the core of POW! WOW!’s mission to beautify, educate, and bring people together through art.

Over the past decade, POW! WOW! has grown into a global network of artists and has organized mural festivals across the globe. As of today, it holds festivals in over 17 cities and brings over 100 international and local artists together to create murals and beautify communities.
