A self-guided tour around Napier's vibrant murals.

In a collaboration between the PangeaSeed Foundation, Napier City Council, Alternative Arts Initiative, and Resene, Sea Walls brought internationally renowned artists to Napier for two festivals in 2016 and 2017. Napier was the pioneering city in New Zealand to host this initiative and become part of a global movement spanning 15 countries.
