A Sunday Of Art

 Two art adventures on Sunday.  

Saturday began the official start of a group of black artists painting murals in the area north east of the new center area (though some started earlier).

  It was interesting to talk to the artists as they were painting.  The painting is supposed to be finished by next weekend.  Will not be able to go the the festival they have planned due to the Lolli family reunion, but I hope to return soon after to see the results.  

A few of the pictures are below: 





The other adventure was an open house at a studio space and gallery at 333 Midland in Highland Park.   I went to pick up supplies for an art exhibition callus "Climate Conversations - All We Can Save".  The plan is to decorate cigarette boxes with your art.  The space is in an old factory.  It was amazing to see some of the equipment these artists who work in large scale in wood or metal have.
