Living Walls has recently become an official non-profit organization, and to take advantage, they started Living Walls Concepts. Concepts takes the great events, shows and murals they’re known for, and spreads them across the whole year (and still has an annual conference). This month, Gaia and Nanook came back to Atlanta for a three story mural on Edgewood and a lecture.

This week Living Walls brought over La Pandilla: two Puerto Rican street artists and creators of intensely detailed brush & ink work on walls. Their surrealistic animal juxtapositions create a vibrant scene for pedestrians and other passers-by. Here is a shot from their mural in Miami this past winter at Art Basel: 

In addition to La Pandilla, Living Walls is having Local Artist and one of our very own interns Trek Matthews create another mural nearby La Pandillas in Cabbagetown! Here are a couple progress shots so far of the guys’ murals:

Even more news and events to add to the table, La Pandilla & Trek Matthews will be hosting a partner show with Living Walls at the Jane (Grant Park) this Saturday at 7pm. There will be several new pieces by each of the guys, a mural installation, prints, t-shirts, and video by Albert Lebron. There will be drinks and an after party, and there is no cover charge. All of the profits will go straight to the artists, and all donations will go straight to the organization & will be tax deductible – so come by and show some support for the arts!
