New Mural For San Antonio's Predominantly-Hispanic West Side

On Saturday, August 25,  a new 20’ X 70’ foot mural entitled "Brighter Days" was unveiled in San Antonio, Texas with a spiritual dedication ceremony.

The vibrant public artwork, undertaken by lead artist Adriana Garza,  graces the outer wall of the Westside Mental Health Clinic on Zarzamora Street.  It is a fitting place for a mural that represents those struggling with mental illnesses such as depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.

Paid for by the non-profit San Anto Cultural Arts Center,
the stunning work is a new high point for the predominantly- Hispanic West side, one of the city’s most impoverished communities. But where money may be scarce, there is without a doubt an abundance of  heart, talent, and compassion.

Read more about the mural in the San Antonio Express News.

Tweety, You wouldn't believe this city. The construction workers can't even hang a sign up in San Antonio without graffiti sprayed on it within the week. Brand new piers for the interstate overpasses are valdalized almost immediately. It's absolutely disgusting. Honest people who NEED to buy spray paint have to go to a clerk to unlock a cabinet, I'm surprised you don't need a permit or need to register the can of paint here!
