 SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - Notre Dame’s campus art museum of the last 43 years has closed its doors to the public. While the Snite Museum of Art is gone, a new campus museum is set to open Friday night at 6:00 p.m. The $66 million Raclin Murphy Museum of Art is named after donors Ernestine Raclin, along with Christopher and Carmen Murphy. The new museum has an atrium that spans three stories and a portrait of the St. Joseph River Basin that was done by Maya Lin—the artist who created the Vietnam War Memorial.
 The city of Napa’s soon-to-open Highway 29 undercrossing, a paved path that will allow cyclists and pedestrians to move from east to west, will be getting a permanent public art mural in early 2024. (OCELOT ART)
Interview with David Ocelotl Garcia: Community Mural at Resource Central - Streetwise Arts11/4/2023  David Ocelotl Garcia recently painted Repollinators, a mural that explores the close connection between the natural world and reducing waste. Street Wise Arts partnered with Resource Central, a Boulder nonprofit dedicated to conservation, to bring this community mural to life. Communication and Program Manager Allyson Burbeck interviewed the artist about his latest project.
 Painting his first mural was a powerful experience for artist David Ocelotl Garcia. But a few years ago, that mural, "Huitzilopochtli," was painted over, without permission. David set out to bring the mural back, but he didn't know how that would go. No one in Colorado had attempted what he was going to do. In the process, David discovered the beauty in not just making art, but reviving it. |
