Together We Create

MURAL PROJECT – HAGERFEST 2026

The Hagerstown Arts & Entertainment District selected 10 artists to participate in Together We Create, a live mural-painting experience along the Cultural Trail which was installed at Hagerfest Music & Art Festival on Saturday, May 2, 2026. 

We’re proud to showcase the incredible work of 10 talented artists who each transformed their own section of the wall into something truly unique. From bold designs to meaningful storytelling, this project reflects the diversity, energy, and creativity that make Downtown Hagerstown so special.

Take a walk along the Cultural Trail and experience each piece up close—you’ll see firsthand how art has the power to connect, inspire, and transform spaces.This project celebrates individual artistic voices. Each panel standing alone as a unique expression within a larger, diverse outdoor gallery.
