Insta-worthy Murals
I took the time out to go exploring in my city again. This time my focus was on beautiful murals in the city. While I didn’t get around to seeing some of the cooler ones I’ve discovered I did however find some pretty awesome ones. Murals are a way for artist to express themselves outwardly, whether it be on social, political or racial issues.

Since all of the racially charged events that’s been happening throughout the country there’s a large amount of new ones popping up around cities across the country (go check yours out). And because murals are rising again in popularity restaurants are now commissioning artist to have them on their businesses to attract people to come and post up for pics for the gram and Pinterest, driving traffic straight to them. I myself have found a lot of them through IG and also just exploring the city. Murals are also a way to expose our youth in under-served and impoverished communities to the arts.
So do a search and support your local artist and the social issues
they stand for.
