This afternoon I had to make my way through downtown Hamilton Ont. and from a distance I saw that the City Center mall had been painted black. As I got closer, I saw countless street artists set up and creating on the black canvas.
The City Center mall was purchased and closed by a developer a couple of years ago, with immediate plans of demolition. Then rebuilding the mall with condo towers on top. Those plans have been put on hold with the developer citing unfavorable real estate conditions. So seeing it turned into a piece of art while it sits vacant is a pretty cool sight!
I will make another trip down there when the work is done!
Damn that is a bold choice by the city on making that happen. Pretty cool though!
The original building wasn't ugly as well so the fact that the made the choice that happen is super progressive!
When I found it and posted this, I knew nothing about it. Now I have found out that the owner of the building is paying for it and several paint conpanies have donated. Its a project to create the largest street art mural in the world! Its very cool 😀
Me encanta
