MEXICO: San Miguel's Street Art

Like most cities now, San Miguel de Allende has neighbourhoods where street art thrives.

The city’s historical centre has restrictions protecting the buildings.

But outside the centro, out in “the burbs”, facades and walls can be decorated more dramatically with less restrictions.

 

The Colonia Guadalupe Arts District has become a home for street art.

The walls of this neighborhood have become covered with murals.

A project called “Muros en Blanco” (“Blank Walls”) launched in 2013 as part of “JovenES Expresión,” a local youth arts initiative.

 

 

 

 

I think these next two are interesting because they incorporate the natural vegetation around them into the mural.

 

 

I also like this one because it is different.

 Look closely - it is made of little tiny tiles.

When artistic talents are lacking, as is the case for both John and me......

 

.....it is always best to play to your other strengths.
