MURALS 'INSPIRE' EXHIBITION AT LA ART SHOW 2016

MEAR ONE  Revolution (2015)
From the Streets to Canvas will be the 2016 exhibition by the Mural Conservancy of Los Angeles during the LA Art Show in January.  From the release:

​From the Streets to Canvas, an exhibition curated by Isabel Rojas-Williams, showcases the historical and cultural evolution of some of Los Angeles’ notable and changing pieces of art in the most public of forums–the street. However, after the unveiling and the party, art in public spaces takes on a life of its own. Economics, cultural history, and changing neighborhoods are among the factors that move public art past the original intent of the artist.  This exhibition, and the accompanying lecture Mural Renaissance in DTLA: Challenges of Expression and Legacy will address some of the economics and preservation of this compelling art.
​
The featured artists include Carlos Almaraz, Christopher Brand, Espi, Ignacio Gomez, Willie Herrón III, Steve Martinez, MEAR ONE, Art Mortimer, Gilbert Ortiz, Frank Romero, Shizu Saldamando, Evan Skrederstu, and John Valadez.

​The Los Angeles Art Show is January 27 through 31, 2016.
