With the work done by Lieutenant Txurruka on the avenue, the second wall is the one that can be seen in the village of Mutriku. The city council began with the work done by the artist Udatxo in front of the school to turn Mutriku into an open-air museum, which is now in a second phase. The mural of the street Tenientes de Churruca was made by the artist Nestor Otaño, who signs as Nexgraff, and it took a week to realize it.

The second wall has taken another step in the transformation of the people into an open museum; it has been the first step in the second phase. Mutriku City Hall has announced that four murals will be held this year, the one that ends Nexgraff, the artist Pablo Astrain will make on the wall of San Miguel Street, the artist of Taras will make on a wall of the Txanbolin roundabout and the one that Murales Liane will make at the Grand Hotel.

The artists Pablo Astrain and Txartela today start their creations on the streets of Mutriku [May 2]. Muralist Lian began his elaboration on May 12.

It has been determined that the four walls will be by May, but the City Hall has announced that every year it intends to expand the project, inviting different artists and making more murals. “The idea is to bring leading street artists in Euskal Herria, they are of high quality and they are taking names. The tour began with the Udatxo and with the four mural images to be made this year, we entered the second phase. But each year we plan to invite different artists.” After finishing the first work, artists Pablo Astrain and Tardes will begin their creations on the streets of Mutriku on May 2. Muralist Lian began his elaboration on May 12.

The project started in January and after meeting with different artists, the selection arrived. For its part, the City Council concretized the themes: diversity, feminism and Mutriku (sea and mountain). With the theme given, each artist has been free to develop his own creativity to carry out his work on demand.

As for the choice of walls, it is reported that each artist has chosen his own wall. “Everyone has chosen their wall, the one that best suits their needs.” After receiving the proposals and considering that three of these four walls are privately owned, the City Hall held meetings with the neighbors. “Long work has been done for the choice of walls. Since January many meetings have been held with artists, who have made the selection. Afterwards, the city has met with the owners to reach a solution.”

The City Council has signed agreements with the neighbours, for example, each artist offers a 10 year guarantee ensuring the maintenance of his mural. Therefore, the City Hall undertakes to leave the walls in their initial state after the 10 years of the aforementioned agreement, as well as to correct them in case of a problem during that period. “We want to thank everyone for putting sweets.”
