Mount Blackmore Mural

So many people have asked us about the origins of the Mount Blackmore mural on the side of our building that I decided to blog about it. The mural was created in 2007 by kids from local schools mentored by local street artist J Muzacz and was funded by a grant from the City of Austin and Doherty Arts Center's Totally Cool, Totally Art Program.

"It was a pleasure being able to put up a public mural on Treasure City Thrift. Our teen participates really enjoyed doing it and continue to talk about it. It was by far the highlight of the Totally Cool Totally Art Urban Painting Class" - Tiffany Moreno, Totally Cool, Totally Art

J also created the mural that is on the side of our neighbor, The Black Butterfly and the trailer for Deloney Street Community Gardens, which is currently on our lot.
