Now Art LA and Walmart are working together to bring more art to public spaces by including murals created by local artists in each store. Walmart’s mural program celebrates communities across the country. The locations are selected by Walmart staff, and artists are prompted to include cultural references identified by the Walmart team. The images above are murals comprised of hand-printed block prints. The locations are in Porter Ranch, Los Angeles and National City, San Diego County. They hang directly above the Walmart greeting area. This program helps to share the work of local artists with new audiences and I am grateful for the support.
