Hopefully you've noticed the new murals on High St around 4th and 5th. Having stopped by to check it out and take some pictures, I had the chance to briefly chat with one of the artists/organizers for the mural projects. Jon Stommel has been organizing space(outdoor walls) for artists to collaborate and add their creativity to the city's visual landscape, in a legal way. So far his ideas have realized two stunning murals with help from both graff writers and fine artists. They have a contemporary alternative, urban feel to them. While the new mural production will see a winter-induced hiatus, the artists have already lined up at least one other wall space for the spring of 2010. After that, the plan is to continue adding murals throughout the Short North, slowly working their way towards downtown. GOOD LUCK!
These pictures are from the second mural, which went up in about 5 days around Thanksgiving.
