Austin's graffiti wall returns: HOPE Outdoor Gallery opens 18-acre site

Austin's iconic graffiti wall has returned with the grand opening of the HOPE Outdoor Gallery's new 18-acre site in Southeast Austin on December 17, 2025. The original wall near Lamar Boulevard was removed six years ago, and the new location near Austin Bergstrom International Airport features a 6,000-square-foot open-air gallery, community art park, murals by local artists, a cafe, rooftop bar, art supply shop, and spaces for programming and vendors. The space is free, open to the public, and all-ages, with a ribbon-cutting attended by District 2 City Council member Vanessa Fuentes.
