Kingston, Ulster County

The mural titled “Moving Mountains was created by Brooklyn street artist Vince Ballentine in Kingston, New York in conjunction with the 2017 O+ festival. The mural seeks “to honor indigenous heritage and generational wisdom.”

The O+ festival is a 3-day event where artists and musicians exchange their participation for basic health care, dental and wellness services. Billed as “The Art of Medicine for the Medicine of Art”, the growing Kingston event features many forms of art media including paint, sculpture, dance, performance art and music. The first Kingston O+ festival took place in 2010. The most visible aspect of the festival is the large-scale murals seen throughout the city.
