One of the meetings Gadfly was sorry to miss was the Historic Conservation Commission March 16 discussion of additional murals to the several already on the Southside.

The Southside Arts District is working with several property owners and businesses to permanently install murals at various sites throughout the south side downtown. Each of the murals is approximately 4’ x 8’ and is constructed of Parachute Cloth adhered to an Alumalite panel that will be adhered to the mortar of the wall.

Gadfly really likes this idea. How about you?

  1. I’d definitely like to see more artwork around the SS. I hope these small ‘murals’ don’t distract the from getting more much-larger, real murals. (Isn’t being painted directly on the wall part of the basic definition of a mural?)
