POW! WOW! San Jose 2018 Honors San Jose's Historical "Speed City" with 10+ New Murals, Public Art Installations, Music Exhibitions, and More
SAN JOSE, Calif. - Oct. 10, 2018 - Rezul -- POW! WOW! San Jose 2018 ushers in its second annual week-long arts and culture festival spotlighting street art and music in Downtown San Jose on October 17-28, 2018. This year's festival is inspired by San Jose's long history of activism and local cultural pride. 50 years ago, San Jose State University track stars John Carlos and Tommie Smith raised their fists at the 1968 Summer Olympics to show solidarity with those fighting for human rights. This year's festival will honor this source of local pride, and artists will showcase their talent and passion for their art and culture throughout the week.
"While the Silicon Valley is traditionally known for its innovation in technology, the City of San José is an equally rich community of culture, art and music," said Council member Raul Peralez, San José Council District 3. "Working with POW! WOW! San José, we are thrilled to turn San José into a city-wide artists' canvas, showcasing art in action and transforming our City alongside the community."
