1.0 rich Street Art Cities https://streetartcities.com “Brighter Days” mural is on the front of a community mental health clinic at 806 S Zarzamora Sreet, San Antonio, Texas. First painted in 2007 as a project of the San Anto Cultural Arts Community Mural/ Public Art Program @saca_mural_art Lead artist was Adriana Garcia @adrianamjgarcia. She conducted surveys and had countless conversations with clients and staff. The title came from a young man she met in the clinic waiting room: “Brighter days are ahead!” Adriana’s goal was to “depict the struggle of the individual striving for mental health through his/her feelings, actions and thoughts.” The wall is divided into three parts that can be read left to right, like a picture book:* Thought, meant to show that knowledge of brain chemistry and personal choice are tools of self-empowerment.* Action, meant to show people rising from the confusion related to mental health struggles and diagnoses and taking flight* Feeling, meant to show the soulful hope of brighter day. The corn maiden, also known as Tonantzin or Mother Earth, uses traditional Aztec imagery to communicate present-day hope and healing.The mural was restored in 2017. The Lead Muralist was Cherise “Rhys” Munro @rhysmunroyo The restored mural is almost identical to the original, but the removable wooden panels were replaced with polytab so the mural would last longer.Thanks to http://www.sananto.org/34---brighter-days.html for the info above.
