NO NEED FOR BLANK WALLS...

 Ever excited to discover the unexpected?

Well, never did I expect to find a mural endeavor in Clarksdale, Mississippi. But about 5 years ago the city of Clarksdale decided to revitalize their downtown by adding art, murals specifically.

Yet in 2019 one piece created an issue on social media so the town commissioners decided to appoint an art commission to regulate and consider public opinion.

Attempting to include both international and local artists has not been easy as there is also 'basic free speech and private property issues.'

I could have used another day to photograph more of the murals but enjoy what I have captured and I'll try to learn more about the artists and their work too.

Looking forward to another visit to capture more of the art...
