12 world-renowned artists are brought to suburban Illinois to paint
monumental murals in partnership with Celebrate Highwood, the city, and
curators Laura “Lulu” Reich & CJ Kozloff. Silvertuna Studios captures the
historical debut of the Highwood International Mural Festival, where artists
revitalize Highwood into a vibrant art destination.
Watch as a once-blank cityscape is turned into a captivating public art gallery
of murals showcasing graffiti, street art, and fine art accessible to all. With
incredible precision and speed, talented creatives from Chicago and across
the globe bring their visions to life, showcasing the power of art to inspire,
grow, and heal.
As murals breathe new life into the city, the film highlights the powerful
impact of a few passionate individuals coming together to support the arts
and create positive change. The beautification of Highwood serves as an
inspiring example for all communities, demonstrating that with the right vision
and collaboration, art can indeed be a catalyst for lasting, positive
transformation.
