Santa Cruz Changes: 32 - Sea Walls

 


Several recent "Changes" posts have featured some of the colorful wall murals created by local artists. The paint is barely dry on a new set of murals, part of a project called "Sea Walls: Artists For Oceans". The project is described as "A public art initiative to give our oceans a creative voice."

The project has a website: https://seawalls.org/activation/santa-cruz-usa/, where a map can be downloaded showing the 19 mural locations scattered around the city, along with information about the artists. 

The two shown here are on walls facing Frazier Lewis Lane (behind the Front-Soquel parking structure.) 



While admiring the four murals at this location, have lunch at the El Palomar outdoor dining "parklet". Its location away from street traffic makes it one of the better pandemic dining experiences.


Santa Cruz Changes locations can be found on this Google Map.

2023-07-21 update: there's now a website listing and showing all of the Santa Cruz murals. Its self-explanatory name is Santa Cruz Murals.com.
