Two years ago, we took on our biggest project to date 🫡
With the help of , and in support of ’s street life initiative, Local Color facilitated the creation of “Threads Woven.”
This 16,000 square foot asphalt mural designed by features vibrant hues and varying patterns meant to evoke the style of the Mexican sarape blanket.
The catch? It would be created by the community. Over three days, more than 750 people – including – volunteered their time to paint this landmark project on San Pedro Square.
Thank you to Jimmy and his team of assistant artists for helping to power a project that shows how art can completely reshape a public space.
This massive project was empowered by Local Color’s Creative Services program, which connects organizations to our vetted network of local artists and creatives for murals, installations, live painting, and design work.
