San Jose leaders want to transform downtown into a place where the community wants to eat, work and play.
This week, they’re using a splash of color to make that transformation come to life though a community mural on San Pedro Street.
What better way to make something yours than have a role in a creating something special and unique?
“We have a giant, paint by number, a big coloring book. It’s been fun out here so far,” Local Color Founder, Exec. Director Erin Salazar said. “Public art is one of the things that connects people to a place, and this is going to connect a lot of people to this place.”
One-thousand two-hundred-fifty, in fact — volunteers, that is.
Their task: transform San Pedro Square into a 12,000 square-foot, 645 foot long and about 30 feet wide, with 10 colors – community canvas in San Jose.
