I’m sure some of you have noticed the murals going up on the side of Squash Blossom on the Square and on the side of the old Hairwerks building on Howard Ave. They’re part of the Living Walls Conference that starts this Friday in Atlanta. A couple of Decatur’s property owners agreed to “host” an artist’s work for a year. I’d like to think of it as a temporary public art gift.
As part of the conference, there are a number of murals being installed around Atlanta with four sites in Decatur: Squash Blossom (pictured), the old Hairwerks building, the Big H in Oakhurst, and Core Performance’s alley on the Square.
I’ll include more photos once the pieces are complete.

Outstanding!!!!!
That’s fantastic news. Those spaces have been crying out for something like this for a long time.
Who are the artists?
I took photographs of the pieces in Decatur, and the ones around Atlanta. See pictures, locations, and artist information here:
