Pubic art on Austin’s east side

Mural at historic Blackshear Elementary School on 11th Street on the east side of Austin, Texas.

I spent part of a recent morning looking for some of the murals and other public art on the east side of Austin, Texas.

All of the art work here is on or south of 11th street and east of Interstate 35.

Austin has plenty of public art – especially on the east side.

The “We Rise” mural on the corner of 12th Street and Chicon is one of the best known.

Images within the mural include Selena, Jimi Hendrix, Biggie Smalls, James Brown, Tupac Shakur, Prince and many others.
