It’s no secret that street art makes San Antonio great. Now we’re getting a first-of-its kind street art park. | Photo by SATXtoday
Stay tuned — San Antonio Arts Commission’s Public Art Committee meets today at 10 a.m., where a top action item is a request by San Antonio Street Art Initiative to install 10 temporary murals at Healy Murphy Park.
It’s all part of a larger plan years in the making: After planning and construction, big changes are afoot for the East Side Park with the help of the San Antonio Street Art Initiative. The new-and-improved street art park is set to include 10 permanent concrete “Dream Walls” which will be painted at a groundbreaking ceremony on Saturday, Oct. 4 — and painted and repainted annually at a block party by live artists at work.
Check out a gorgeous walkthrough of what the big reveal will look like, or stream the meeting to see the committee’s vote + feedback.
