Five artists and 40 apprentices recently spraypainted an amazing mural in the Edgewood neighborhood as part of a community art project. They call the piece "From Edgewood to the End of the World." The mural is on a retaining wall behind a shopping plaza. The mural is 20 feet high and 275 long.
Quest Skinner, one of the five artists contributing to the mural:
"People now stop in this area where typically they cut through. It changes your environment. Your environment can be luscious even in the darkest of times in the darkest of places."
Last weekend, the city sponsored a "Mural Jam" -- where graffiti artists and local amateurs spraypainted the remainder of the retaining wall, which extends another 700 feet.
I think the mural is absolutely gorgeous, and I love that the Red Line (my line) goes right past the mural.
I'm dying to get down there and take some pictures of my own. Until then, here are some pictures from the project:
