Oakland Daily Photo, a City Daily Photo blog, started a meme called Monday Mural. People from all over the world share a picture of a mural in their community. One is shared every Monday from Oakland (California). Over the last few years, several murals have been appearing around town so it is high time we share one! Part of this recent colorization of Greensboro is thanks to the Greensboro Mural Project (GMP) an organization founded in 2011.
GMP just held a fundraiser at Westerwood Tavern this weekend. Unfortunately, the event has come and gone; however, if you want to get involved in this project in some way, such as helping paint or making a financial donation, you can find GMP through their Facebook page. The above mural is one of their works in progress at the corner of West Friendly Avenue and Mendenhall Street, a block away from Greensboro College. Next time you drive by, have a look. Also, stop by Monday Mural, where we're sharing this photo with the world! We can't imagine finding a mural a week around Greensboro. However, we said the same about religious institutions and in nearly 6 years of posting something religious on Sunday, we are nowhere near running out of places to photograph. Maybe, if we start looking, it will be true with murals. What is your favorite mural in Greensboro?
Quite a colourful one. There's quite a wide interpretation of what constitutes a mural, of course.
