By now, you may have noticed that our arts & culture blog is a little biased towards murals.

Perhaps it’s because the nature of murals requires teamwork, people working together towards a common goal-- something MATT.org is pretty fond of.

Or perhaps it’s because of their startling diversity. One can find a masterpiece by an unknown signpainter in the image of a woman making tortillas on the side of a little taqueria. Or, a visit to the grand Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City is rewarded by the glorious splendor of the intricate, symbolic piece "Glorious Victory" by famed Mexican muralist Diego Rivera.

Maybe it’s because by their very nature, murals are made for the public. They are not isolated works trapped in museums, but instead vibrant pieces of the communities they occupy. The best ones not only beautify, but also tell us something about the people and places that created and inspired them.

That’s why we need you help. Send your mural pics to us at cristina@matt.org, along with a brief description of where they are located and why they are important to you. We’ll be posting these images periodically for the entire MATT community to enjoy.
