ABOUT THE JEWISH STREET ART FESTIVAL 2025
Presented by the Jewish Community Foundation Orange County's Weissman Arts program, and partnering with institutions throughout Orange County, the 2025 Festival brings together Jewish artists from around the U.S. and Israel to paint this spring and summer. Painting at select locations began in May and will culminate at a full-day festival on
August 24.
Artists that kicked off the festival in May include: Rabbi Yitzchok Moully, Mike Wirth, Louis Barak, and Hillel Smith, festival founder and co-producer of this event. They have already created six new murals in Santa Ana, Irvine, and Huntington Beach. Arriving in early August to complete the mural cycle will be Adam Podber, Alexander Golob, and Dede Bandaid with Nitzan Mintz. Together with Smith, these artists will create the remaining five murals, completing the 2025 Orange County presentation of Jewish Street Art.
