What is the King Street Mural? As part of Cambridge Arts Festival 2026, Cambridge BID has been working on a large-scale collaborative project to bring vibrant street art to Cambridge, spanning 45-metres across a wall on King Street. The artwork was expertly created by three talented artists (Darin Mount, Melissa Lhoirit and Susy Snow) who drew inspiration from the rich history of Cambridge and King Street. Their designs were painted on the wall by Graffwerk, appointed design agency. The mural is a temporary installation, live for 24 months.

We’re delighted to announce that Cambridge Arts Monthly Events are returning.

We are currently inviting artists and creatives to apply to host and showcase workshops as part of the programme. These sessions aim to celebrate local talent, engage the community, and offer hands-on creative experiences.

Cambridge’s creative community is invited to take part in an exciting new event as part of the upcoming Cambridge Arts Festival delivered by Cambridge BID. We’re calling on local and regional artists, makers, and creators of all disciplines to showcase and sell their work at The Art Makers Fair,  a vibrant marketplace celebrating originality, craft, and artistic talent.

A new creative project is taking shape in the heart of Cambridge, inviting local artists to help reimagine one of the city’s most characterful streets.
