Embracing Arizona: The Roosevelt row Murals

After doing a bit of research, I found this collection of murals and public art in Downtown Phoenix.  Arrayed along Roosevelt Street near its intersection with Central Avenue in the heart of Downtown Phoenix, this really is a motherlode of murals.

It is truly a walkable arts district.

Within less than 20 minutes and a little over a half-mile of walking, I found nearly a dozen murals.  On the back of bars, surrounding utility stations, and, in the case of Teddy himself, affixed to the window glass of a skyscraper.

Subjects ranged from bicycles to animals to women to flowers.  Colors are typically bright and a few border on being “aerosol” art.

Worth the time to visit and take in.
