WASHINGTON, D.C. - September 5, 2013 The Heineken Mural Project has officially launched in D.C., with four famed Heineken bi-culture artists creating original artwork inspired by Heineken's "Open Your World" message. The four new colorful murals will add to the thriving art scene in D.C. coinciding with the G40 Art Summit, home of the Heineken Mural Project and will open D.C.'s world one mural at a time as one of the most visually stimulating street art collaborations in the D.C. metro area has ever witnessed.

World-renowned artists Ever, Rubin, Aniekan and Brendan Tierney will begin working on their murals this week providing art lovers with a behind the scenes look into the art of aerosol during D.C.'s G40 Art Summit annual art explosion. Art lovers are invited to visit the murals during this creative process, share photos on Instagram (using #HeinekenMurals) and tour the murals, which integrates quick response (QR) code technology. Each mural will have QR codes which can be scanned from the pedestrian's smart phone leading them to The Heineken Mural Project websitewith information on the murals, artists, photos, videos and events. Heineken will host two Sunset Pop Up Parties on September 11 & September 12 at two different mural sites where the community is invited to meet and greet the Heineken Mural Artists.
