Kyle Confehr x Rappaport for AVEC

How Kyle Confehr transformed 1440 SQFT with WXLLSPACE and Rappaport to transform AVEC into an “instagrammable” mural for the community in Washington, DC.

Project Description

When Rappaport wanted to create an "instagrammable" moment, they turned to the expertise of WXLLSPACE and murals artist Kyle Confehr. This muralist was chosen to bring life to the 1,440 SQFT space in Washington DC, transforming it into a vibrant setting for visitors to enjoy. Kyle Confehr and Rappaport had a shared goal to create a mural that would be visually stunning, capture people’s attention, and inspire them to share the experience online. This installation was carefully planned to make for the perfect 'instagrammable' mural, with the aim of increasing social engagement and driving foot traffic. Together, they managed to create a unique piece of art worthy of being shared far and wide – but most importantly, it brought joy to both those who witnessed it in person, as well as those who saw it on social media.
