Tucson Arizona Wall Crawl
We hope everyone takes a minute to explore this beautiful city and hike among the saguaros.
Mason and I had an absolute blast in Tucson a couple weekends back and wanted to share with you all the amazing street art that is down there. These murals are all located in the Tucson Warehouse Art District in downtown Tucson, Arizona. The only exception is the colorful desert mural around the door. That is painted on the Plants of the Southwest Nursery on East Blacklidge Dr.
We do not know who painted the colorful garage doors. The first picture of Ohso is a close up of the "Agave Goddess" mural painted by Rock 'Cyfi" Martinez. The picture directly below that is the full mural of the Agave Goddess. The famous Greetings From mural was done by the Greetings Tour along a collaboration with Cyfi who painted the "C" in Tucson. Cyfi Martinez also painted the mural on the Nursery. The last two pictures are murals painted by Joe Pagac. This man is seriously a magician. The picture of the Poseidon only shows half of the actual mural so I guess you will have to get to Tucson if you want to see the full thing.
This is not even close to all of the murals and art that is displayed in downtown Tucson. These were just some of our favorites. We hope everyone takes a minute to explore this beautiful city and hike among the saguaros.
Kansas City Wall Crawl
All I have to say is, “Kansas City I’m so in Love”
Before I head out and start taking pictures, I like to research where I'm going. I do this for two reasons. One, to know where I'm going and two, to learn. I want to learn about the artists that created these murals. I want to see their other works. I want to know why.
The Kansas City Crossroads Art District is one of the most concentrated gallery districts in the nation.
"It’s more than just an intersection of two streets in downtown Kansas City. It’s a vibrant and diverse community that welcomes all walks of life and all forms of artistic expression." - Crossroads Community Association
There is an outrageous amount of street art in this area. We were able to see a lot in a short amount of time. I'm all about efficiency. Ohso gets tired quick. We walked around for about an hour and were able to see all the walls in these pictures. The more time you have, the better. There are plenty of other posts about where to find the best walls in Kansas City. Here are some of the ones I stumbled across while doing my own research:
