Board hears about Salamanca's Galería Urbana murals; Jörg set to present in February
Summary
Board member Lisa Bedell described the Galería Urbana project in Salamanca, Spain—more than 200 murals painted on garage doors and walls since a 2013 start that invited young artists—and the board scheduled Jörg to present at the February meeting.
Lisa Bedell showed images and background on the painted garages and murals in the Barrio del Oeste neighborhood of Salamanca, Spain, describing Galería Urbana as a community-led project that began in 2013 when a neighborhood association invited 25 young artists and has grown to include more than 200 murals, accompanied by a map and an app for visitors. Bedell said the project has become a local attraction for tourists and students and recommended the board view images included in the meeting packet.
The board selected Jörg to present the next "Favorite Public Art Piece" in February. The exchange was brief and informational; no board action was required.
