Superior Mural Festival

This past weekend, Downtown Superior became a little more colorful thanks to Superior Mural Festival presented by Street Wise Arts.  

Each Fall, Street Wise Arts put on a mural festival, bringing artists and the local community together. Usually the festival is based in Boulder, but this year I'm excited that it was a little closer to us in Downtown Superior.

You know I'm a big fan of street art, so this event had my name written all over it!

The festival may be over, but the murals are here to stay, so let's take a look at them...

Find the Pomodoro Scavenger Hunt

If you've bee here a while, or if you read my previous post, you'll know that I'm a big fan of scavenger hunts, especially ones that involve public art. So today, I'm sharing a local scavenger hunt that can be found right here in Louisville, Colorado.

In the early days of Louisville, the town was populated by Italian miners and their families, which resulted in a strong Italian community. To celebrate the town's Italian heritage and the tomatoes that grow so well here in Summer (practically the only thing that will grow in my veggie patch!), the City of Louisville launched a scavenger hunt called Find the Pomodoro and an accompanying mural on Main Street over Summer.

Now, I know that it's already Fall, but the scavenger hunt is still in progress, and it's a fun way to explore local landmarks and businesses, so let's take a look... 

New Longmont Murals

You may remember that I shared my favorite murals found around Longmont, Colorado recently. Well, I'm back with more that I recently found while visiting. These murals are all new as of this year, with some of them going up over Summer.

I've updated my Longmont murals map to include these new murals and you can find the link at the end of this post.

Let's take a look...

While it may look like there are many new murals featured here, they're all actually found in just three locations within a short walk from each other. You'll find these murals on the parking garage at 3rd Avenue and Kimbark Street, Gorilla Tinting at 2nd Avenue, and Jester's Dinner Theatre on Main Street.

The murals on the parking garage at 3rd Avenue and Kimbark Street practically encompass the entire building. They can be found on all sides of the ground floor, inside the parking garage, and up on the roof level. These murals, titled Architecture of Time, were painted this Summer by Osiris Rain and feature life in Longmont. You'll find historical moments, wildlife, plants, and snippets of current day Longmont, interspersed with colorful shapes and swirling lines that carry the eye from one feature to the next. I love the contrast of the bright colors against the neighboring historic buildings.

The new murals on Jester's Dinner Theatre can be found facing the parking lot and are seen as you head north on Main Street. These feature native flowers and pollinators, and were created over Summer by students from Front Range Community College. You can find an article about the project here.

Jester's Dinner Theatre is located at 224 Main Street, Longmont between 2nd and 3rd Avenues.

The final mural I'm sharing here isn't as new as the murals above, but I had missed spotting it during previous visits to Longmont. This one was created by Gamma Gallery back in February, and can be found on the side of Gorilla Tinting, at 650 2nd Avenue, Longmont.

Calling all street art lovers! 

I've found THE perfect hotel for you in New York!

During our visit to New York earlier this Summer, we stayed at Untitled at 3 Freeman Alley, and it was one of my favorite hotels we've ever stayed at. A handy location in the Lower East Side neighborhood, well-thought-out guest rooms, an onsite cafe and bar, stunning views over the city, fun and well designed communal facilities, friendly and helpful staff, delicious breakfast included, an onsite tattoo studio... oh, and did I mention street art?

Untitled is located in New York's iconic Freeman Alley. This short alleyway is home to an ever changing array of street art. And when I say ever changing, I mean it. Each day when we walked out of the hotel in the morning we were met with new art. When we returned each evening, there was yet more new art. If we saw a mural we wanted a picture with, we quickly learned to snap a shot right away, because we never knew what we'd find the next time we walked past!

The street art aesthetic continues through Freeman Alley and into Untitled itself, where murals and local art meet modern design. Colorful artworks decorate the walls, while the plush fabrics and warm natural woods and stone of the furniture create a balanced and comfortable environment. Everywhere you look there's something to see, but it doesn't overwhelm. It's the perfect mix of street art and Scandinavian inspired design. A little edgy, but also cozy. Just like the city itself.
