The Los Feliz
Mural Festival
The Los Feliz Mural Festival is a community-driven public art initiative bringing artists, businesses, property owners, and neighbors together to celebrate neighborhood identity and strengthen our commercial corridors. Curated by longtime resident and muralist Ryan "Yanoe" Sarfati, the inaugural festival brought five new murals to Los Feliz in August 2026.
Over the course of a week, artists transformed walls from Vermont Avenue to Hollywood Boulevard into lasting works of public art, culminating in the Los Feliz Art & Music Block Party and creating a walkable outdoor gallery for the community to experience year-round.
Artist Curation
Throughout his career, Ryan has developed relationships with some of the most respected artists working in public art today. Drawing on that network, he assembled a diverse group of local, emerging, and internationally recognized artists for the inaugural festival. After nearly two decades living in Los Feliz, raising his family here, and building his career as an artist, Ryan saw the festival as an opportunity to bring those relationships home and create something meaningful for the community that has given him so much.
Each artist was carefully matched with a specific location, creating murals that respond to the character, history, and identity of the surrounding area. The result is a collection of five distinct, site-specific murals, combining world-class artistic talent with a deep understanding of local culture and place to create lasting landmarks throughout Los Feliz.
