Carlsbad Art Wall for August 2023
The 4th Carlsbad Art Wall (#CAW) mural of 2023 was completed last week. And it’s a very special journey under the sea....certainly appropriate for our seaside community.
The wall was painted by Anna Pearson, who moved to California from the Ukraine.
This is the 37th mural since the Carlsbad Art Wall was founded. There has been some amazing diversity, creativity, and beauty over the past 8 years.
The Carlsbad Art Wall was founded in 2015 by Carlsbad artist, Bryan Snyder in cooperation with the owner of Senor Grubby’s Mexican Restaurant in Carlsbad Village
The Carlsbad Art Wall gives residents and visitors an opportunity to enjoy temporary public art by local, regional, and sometimes even international artists.
Bryan Snyder also founded the Carlsbad Alley Art Wall, among other art projects in Carlsbad.
The public is always invited to watch artists at work on their creations, which are often painted over a 2-day period, often on the weekend.
While you may not have heard the official name, you’ve likely noticed changing murals at Senor Grubby’s Mexican Restaurant’s east-facing wall if you live in the area or have visited Carlsbad Village.
The Carlsbad Art Wall is just west of the train tracks, across the street from the Carlsbad Village Faire Shopping Center, as you head to the beach. It’s easy to spot.
Carlsbad’s reputation as an arts community continues to expand with abundant public art (interactive map on the City of Carlsbad website). There are multiple art galleries, a performance theater, several arts and crafts fairs, and live music events throughout the year. The Carlsbad Art Wall is a special part of Carlsbad’s vibrant arts community!
