PangeaSeed Foundation, in collaboration with Cohort Collective, Surfrider Foundation, and Kaaboo Del Mar, recently announced Sea Walls: Murals for Oceans San Diego event will take place Sept. 8-12, with a stop at Wonderland Ocean Pub.
A group of renowned artists are celebrating the majesty of Southern California’s marine environment through a series of community-centered events and the painting of ocean-themed murals to beautify neighborhoods, galvanize the local community and raise awareness for the importance of San Diego’s precious marine natural resources.
The San Diego festival of PangeaSeed’s globe-spanning Sea Walls: Murals for Oceans project will feature more than 20 international and local contemporary artists, collaborating to bring vital environmental issues into the spotlight. Sea Walls: Murals for Oceans is the first movement of its kind helping to save seas and water resources via public art and activism (ARTivism).
“This project is a labor of love for our team, artists, and community partners,” says Christopher Konecki, regional director, Sea Walls: Murals for Oceans. “Art can transcend cultural and linguistic boundaries; as ‘artivists’ we believe that using our talents to raise social and environmental awareness can inspire positive change and action.”
The public may view the artists painting murals around the city between Sept. 8 and 12 in high profile locations such as The Observatory North Park, Wonderland Ocean Pub, La Bodega Gallery, and BJ’s Rentals.
The festival will culminate in a closing reception with the artists at La Bodega Gallery on 6 to 11 p.m. Sept. 14 with live painting, prizes and musical performances by local talents such as The Verigolds. For more information, visit www.pangeaseed.foundation. Mural locations:
