SprATX + POW WOW! Worldwide + SXSW
Every year during SXSW our beautiful ‘weird’ little city is transformed into a vast living, moving, breathing organism. The streets brim with transient visitors from around the world, hundreds of bands and musicians put themselves out there in hopes of their big moment, old buildings become clamorous venues and in the midst of all the chaos Austin comes to life.
The SprATX family is honored collaborate with our friends at POW WOW! Worldwide and the amazing crew at SXSW for the second annual Impossible Walls Project, a city-wide mural campaign featuring artists from around the globe. New awe-inspiring murals are peppered throughout the city, see full list of locations below.
We’ve planted our roots deep in Austin, TX in 2013 and it’s projects like this that fuel us to get bigger and better every day. We take pride in our special place within the Austin art culture and are passionate about expanding our creative potential from the streets of the ATX to the entire world.
