Chances are, if you’ve driven around Intown in the last few years, you’ve seen one of Living Walls’ impressive mural projects. The most recent and high profile mural project was part of the Boulevard Tunnel Initiative that connects the Old Fourth Ward and Cabbagetown. The rainbow-hued, 1,000 foot long mural designed by the artist who calls himself MOMO “fully embodies” the mission of Living Walls, according to the nonprofit’s co-founder and Poncey-Highland resident Monica Campana.
Campana and Blacki Li Rudi Migliozzi founded the organization in 2009. Since then, Living Walls has painted over 100 murals and hosted over 30 lectures and other educational events in Atlanta. Every August, Living Walls holds a conference on street art and urbanism, complete with lectures, film screenings, block parties, gallery shows, bike tours, and a main event, along side smaller more intimate projects called Concepts.
