“Host to many artists from all over turtle island indigenous and non-indigenous, Noisy Waters Mural Fest brought the community together in good hearts, minds, and spirits. It provided a place to connect and to learn from one another, leaving a lasting imprint on Bellingham.”
- Free Borsey, Indigeversal Collective

- Dom Laporte, Ottawa, Canada
“I am riding the high of this experience! Noisy Waters blew me away - the vibe of the event and how connected this community is. Not only is this event unparalleled to any mural festival experience I have participated in, this is the BEST event I have ever been to!”
- Emily Beaudoin, Calgary, Canada
"I really enjoyed as an artist, when all of us are working on the art in different
locations, but felt like we were working together which was one of the greatest
things I have experienced. I usually work on the murals or commissioned art
projects by myself or with 1-2 assistants, but this was like a jam session and
communicating with the awesome
audience at the same time!"

"Definitely loved the positive energy and warmth among the artists!!! It was the
perfect learning environment. Getting to meet, participate alongside so many
muralists, and experience some challenges felt eye opening for artistic growth."
