We took advantage of a break in the rain to seek out six of the eleven murals that are now completed. We used the following site to find them and I took turns taking one kid out at a time to pose in front of the mural. (minimurals.org) The whole endeavor turned into an art scavenger hunt for the whole family.
Since many of the murals are in the same area, it was easy to drive along one route and see many of them. It is a fun, quick, free way to experience some art in our city and support the artists.
There is a Facebook page for the project to track new installations. There are 11 currently completed and 20 more to come in the next month!

The project is made possible by the support of Mayor Annise Parker, Houston City Council Member Larry V. Green, Houston Arts Alliance, Fresh Arts and Brays Oaks District.
Participating artists so far include: 2:12, The Artist Alex Arzu, Ana Maria, Anat Ronen’s murals, Dual, Gabriel Prusmack, Jessica Guerra, Lee Washington, Mr D 1987, Pilot FX, Shelbi-Nicole, w3r3on3, and Wiley Robertson.
Happy hunting!
