Details
The Street Art Society of NEPA has partnered with the Fine Arts Fiesta to present the Arts in Motion Trolley Tour.
Have you seen all the murals popping up in Wilkes-Barre, Kingston and Forty-Fort? Are you curious as to who the artists are and what their vision was for creating their murals? We want to share all those details and more during a fun and interactive trolley tour!
First, enjoy an afternoon at the Fine Arts Fiesta, a free event that takes place May 18th through May 20th in Downtown Wilkes-Barre. Then, while attending the Fine Arts Fiesta, hop on the beautifully restored Back Mountain Trolley and take a guided mural tour of 18 local murals.
Pick up and drop off locations for the tour will be near Public Square at the heart of the event. Each tour will be led by a personable guide who will share information about the murals and artists, provide insights into how the murals were planned and created, and offer plenty of fun and entertainment along the way.
This fundraising event will benefit the Street Art Society of NEPA, a 501 c (3) non-profit, and 100% of your donation will directly go to the creation of more murals across the Wyoming Valley.
