The LOVE MURALISTS planned to paint just two murals in Japan and ended up painting FIVE. Enthusiasm and receptivity permeated everything. They worked hard, had fun and created community while producing lasting memories and worthy art. Similarly, Oakland, CA and its sister city, Fukuoka, Japan created a mural mosaic together. Artists, donors and kids contributed time, pebbles and paint to make the symbolic mural mosaic shown here. It celebrates over 60 years of sister city-hood.
Japanese and US sister cities abound exchanging students, art and noteworthy events. This is not the end! We’ll keep our LOVE MURALS donate button open for beautiful collaborations like this.
