In celebration of the SHINE St. Petersburg Mural Festival’s ten-year anniversary, Outside In: New Murals Inspired by Dalí brings the vibrant world of street art into the heart of The Dalí Museum. This unique exhibition invites both current and past SHINE artists to create dynamic murals within the Museum’s gallery, inspired by the surreal genius of Salvador Dalí, his collection and the iconic architecture of the Museum itself.
Since its inception in 2015, the SHINE Mural Festival, produced by the St. Petersburg Arts Alliance, has transformed downtown St. Petersburg and the surrounding arts districts with nearly 180 murals. Now, in this gallery setting, visitors can explore these murals up close—experiencing the intricate details and techniques that often go unnoticed in outdoor installations. By showcasing street art within a museum context, the exhibition offers a fresh perspective on the intersections between public art and the gallery space.
The exhibition is curated by Allison McCarthy, Associate Curator and Preparator at The Dalí Museum, with murals by twelve artists from around the world, including SHINE founders Tes One, Chad Mize, Palehorse and Bask, each of whom brings their own unique interpretation of Dalí’s surrealist legacy. During opening week, visitors will have the unique opportunity to observe the artists at work as they bring their murals to life in the gallery.
