We will begin today's 4.4 mile hike in Oregon Hill at 334 S. Pine Street (corner of Pine & Albemarle) and follow the murals as far north as Leigh Street and west to Henry Street. We will go from Oregon Hill to Cary and Foushee Streets, then to 6th, 7th and 8th before crossing Broad to see a high concentration of murals in historic Jackson Ward. We'll finish up by going west on Broad Street and working our way back to West Grace Street before returning to our starting point.
Murals will be found adorning what would otherwise be undecorated building walls, often in some unusual places. You'll soon realize that the artists can turn the most unlikely locations into amazing art works. The diversity of the murals' subject matter, the use of color, the incorporation of history and the scale of the renderings will mystify and amaze you. Starting with "Kaiya With Crown" to the "Astronauts Kissing While Being Filmed" the talent on display around Richmond will leave you wondering, "What next?" Only one way to find out...
