Alice Alva
This year, for the first time, Boon is commissioning artist and educator Alice Alva to design a mural the community will paint, allowing community invest ment and ‘ownership’ of the wall. Alice’s bright and playful designs lends itself well to this concept, and members of the public, including local school children, will collaboratively paint this mural.

Flox x Sweats
Flox aka Hayley King is Aotearoa’s most recognisable and beloved muralist. Her distinct vibrant murals and art celebrate Aotearoa’s unique flora and fauna. In this collab she is painting with SWEATS aka Pierre Hadlow, an Auckland-based multidisciplinary artist, and we are beyond excited to be showcasing their unique creative fusion on a ‘hero’ wall in Kirikiriroa, the first city of our size to do so
Theo Arraj
Theo is a very experienced muralist with over 60 murals under his belt. With Māori, Celtic and Scandinavian roots, his work draws from his diverse ancestry for inspiration, as well as ancient cultures, mythology, legend, sci-fi, spirituality and the natural world.

Buy a mural
One of the festival’s key highlights will be the sale of vibrant, one-of-a-kind murals. Each mural is available for $3,500 and comes with a plaque featuring the artist's name, a brief artwork description, and the buyer's logo. This is a unique opportunity to invest in local art that lives on the street and enriches the public space. These murals are more than just artwork—they are a lasting part of Hamilton’s creative legacy.
