Looking for a new crew? We’ve got you. 💛

Artists need close relationships AND new audiences in order to grow. It’s important to have people you can lean on, people who “get it,” people who can cheer you on and lift you up. It’s just as important to find that wider audience who can support your work from afar.

“It was truly an honor to have artwork that I contributed to displayed in a public space for a wide audience to appreciate,” said 2026 muralist Jazmin Baxter. “Sunny Dayz provides artists with a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow artists and individuals who share similar interests, fostering friendships and collaborations that contribute to their personal and professional growth.”

What if 2027 is the year your art takes off? ✈️

2026 muralist Aziza Andre’ reflected: “It was a life-changing experience for me. I’m so grateful that Sunny Dayz exists!”

As creatives, we spend hours crafting applications and proposals to MAYBE get the gig. We hype ourselves up to go to the event and talk to the people. We sometimes wonder: is this going anywhere?? is this doing anything?!

IT IS. You are going somewhere, and we believe in you. Apply for Sunny Dayz 2027 by November 9, 2026. This could be the year when everything changes. 🌈

Step up to the scaffolding. 😎

“Sunny Dayz was a great way to gain experience working on a big wall, while also getting to learn from many different artists!” said 2026 muralist Sydney Kuipers.

We love creating opportunities for artists who are new to painting murals. If you’re curious about exploring public art as a part of your practice, this is the perfect chance to go for it. You won’t be alone — the Sunny Dayz community is here for you each step of the way!

Be part of something bigger. ☀️

“Sunny Dayz has created an inspiring model for what a mural festival can be,” said 2026 muralist Camila Leão. “It is one of the most supportive and welcoming spaces I’ve experienced, both for artists and for the communities that host it.”

Applications are OPEN for the 7th annual Sunny Dayz Mural Festival, which will take place in Shawnee on June 5, 2027. Both experienced (“pro”) muralists and first-timers (“newbies”) are encouraged to apply. Artists outside Oklahoma are welcome, too. New experiences and perspectives help us grow. 🌼

“I’ll carry the incredible memories I made in Oklahoma with me and continue sharing them wherever I go,” Camila said.

☀️ ONE WEEK LEFT TO APPLY! ☀️

There’s just one week left to apply for the 2027 Sunny Dayz Teen Mentorship Program!

62 Oklahoma teens have gone through our mentorship program over the years, and this year we’re expanding the experience from a week-long program into a seven-month mentorship designed to give young artists the tools, knowledge, experience, and connections to explore muralism and public art.

From November through May, artists ages 16–19 will meet monthly via Zoom with professional muralists, educators, and arts professionals.

Mentees will learn about:

🎨 Developing ideas + storytelling
🎨 Composition + designing for a wall
🎨 Color, materials + painting techniques
🎨 Scaling mural designs
🎨 Collaboration + working on a mural team
🎨 The business side of being a professional artist
🎨 Mural installation

Then we’ll bring it all together during Sunny Week in Shawnee, where mentees will work together on a small mural with guidance from professional artists and Sunny Dayz leadership.

📅 Applications close October 25 at midnight. Apply at the link in bio!

When you’re open to new energy, it might surprise you. ✨

“Sunny Dayz was an experience I wasn’t expecting to impact me the way it did,” said 2026 muralist Erica Pretty Eagle. “I left feeling full and am still carrying the beautiful energy from creating with other artists, painting alongside my sister, and being completely in my element. I learned so much and truly feel like I grew and evolved as an artist.”

From now through November 9, it’s Sunny Dayz application season. We’re sharing real reflections from last year’s muralists to encourage YOU to go for it, too!

Believe it or not, you don’t have to have everything figured out before applying. While our review panel does look for strong style and clear direction in your previous work, we also want to know how you’ll grow by participating in Sunny Dayz. (btw, we have an application just for “newbies” who have never painted a mural before!)

Bring an open mind and share your dreams! The universe might surprise you.

Participating in Sunny Dayz is more than just painting a wall — it’s about changing the world around you and building relationships that last. As 2026 muralist Rosy Galvan put it:

“Sunny Dayz made me feel so seen, supported, loved, and connected to muralists who understand how much art means to our hearts and souls. I left with a network of incredible creatives using their artistic tenderness to heal the world around us.” 💕

246 artists have painted in Sunny Dayz to date. Be the next one!
