Four new murals unveiled in Houston
Four murals have been added to Houston's growing public art collection.
Why it matters: The Big Art. Bigger Change. initiative has added more than 50 murals since 2022, making public art more visible in and around downtown Houston.
The big picture: The murals, created by both local and international artists, focus on Houston's identity while addressing global themes like the climate, empowerment, peace, love and inclusivity.
What they're saying: "This truly is art with a purpose. This series is about more than just creating a public art culture in downtown Houston," Harris County Precinct 1 Commissioner Rodney Ellis said at a press conference unveiling the art this week. Ellis helped to create the mural series.
"These murals aren't just art. They're calls to action. I hope that they inspire the next generation to contribute to the fight, because justice belongs to all of us and starts here."
If you go: The new murals explore themes of women's empowerment, peace, climate resilience and disability advocacy.
