The El Cajon Boulevard Business Improvement Association sponsored the creation of a community mural on the southern facade of the San Diego Stage and Lighting building between Florida and Alabama streets in North Park. Have a look at the mural which will be complete by the end of this week. It is stunning collaborative work of art by local artists Crol, Werc, Vyal, Evolve, Pose 2, Mario Torero and Sherm whose work can be seen all over San Diego, including locations such as The New Children's Museum, The Art Academy of San Diego, The Gateway Public Housing Project, Chicano Park and El Cajon Boulevard's electrical boxes. These artists have worked together in the past, and have recently painted in other cities such as Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Washington D.C. Thematically, the mural is a colorful, visual representation of the history and diversity of San Diego. It was done exclusively with aerosol paint to transcend the typical notions of graffiti writing, and add expressive20color and cultural flavor to El Cajon Boulevard. Many thanks to Route 44 skateboard shop for hosting barbeque on Saturday, July 26 while artists and community members gathered together to celebrate.
