Here Comes the Neighborhood – Introducing the Walls (Public Art FTW)
Here Comes the Neighborhood Episode 1 – Introducing the Walls is the premiere episode of Here Comes the Neighborhood, a series about the public art project The Wynwood Walls. From their site:
The Wynwood Walls was conceived by the renowned community revitalizor and placemaker Tony Goldman in 2009. He was looking for something big to transform the warehouse district of Wynwood, and he arrived at a simple idea: “Wynwood’s large stock of warehouse buildings, all with no windows, would be my giant canvases to bring to them the greatest street art ever seen in one place.” Starting with the 25th–26th Street complex of six separate buildings, his goal was to create a center where people could gravitate to and explore, and to develop the area’s pedestrian potential.
