Can everyday items become art? That’s the idea behind the @myclearwater Placemaking Playbook, an initiative designed to help instill local pride by turning unexpected items—like dumpsters, seen here—into art.
The latest iteration had local artists transforming downtown business’ dumpsters with colorful murals at last week’s Blast Friday. The CRA was excited to support this initiative that brought downtown businesses and artists together to test ideas that spark our community’s creativity. You can see @demigodart in action creating a vibrant Dia de los Muertos mural on the dumpster for Tequila’s Mexican Grill & Cantina on Cleveland St. Check it out for yourself next time you’re in downtown!
And if you want to take part in a creative placemaking initiative, like sidewalk rain art, little free libraries, or storm drain murals, check out the city’s resources at myclearwater.com
