The time is nigh to once again stroll through downtown in search of new Art on the Streets pieces.
This year’s 23rd annual outdoor sculpture garden will feature seven sculptures, four murals and one performance-based mural. The performance portion has already happened, but the mural is still up on the east exterior wall of The Majestic Building, 17C E. Bijou St.
The annual Art on the Streets Scavenger Hunt will officially kick off the exhibit Friday during First Friday Downtown. Works will be up for the next year.
This year’s exhibit is rife with pieces by first-generation Americans, including Mel CK, a muralist whose family moved from Panama to Colorado Springs. Her piece, “Low Rider,” adorns the south exterior wall of the Venezia Building, 128 N. Nevada Ave. Los Angeles-based artist Annie Hong, whose work goes under the name Hootnannie, immigrated with her mother from South Korea as a child. Her mural, “The Other Side,” is on the exterior wall of Craddock Commercial
