The Atlanta-based project, which began last week and ends Sunday, features 28 female artists in this years edition given their own area: sides of buildings, foreclosed houses and subway underpasses to culminate artistic expressions in recession struck neighborhoods. All paintings are done with owners’ permission and city permits.
Monica Campana, Founder of this originative project now in its third year, said “Painting a mural is not just saving money for the wall owner, It’s giving a new look to a block, and it may be helping the neighborhood economically.”
Living walls has garnered praise around the city & its sponsorships have expanded to include a prestigous law firm, the Museum of Design Atlanta and the W Hotel, where the artists receive free lodging.
