Class 1: Inspired (4 entries)
Design inspired by a 7’ h x 16’ w reproduction of Houston graffiti artist Gonzo 247’s mural “Houston is Inspired”. Upcycled* materials must be included in design. Staged on a 40” tall black metal pedestal with a 16” square top. Design may not exceed 18” in width or depth from the center of the pedestal. Viewed and judged from 3 sides.
The mural, completed in 2013 was created by Gonzo247, artist and founder of Houston’s Aerosol Warfare Studio, on a commission from the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau (GHCVB) with the assistance of the Houston Arts Alliance. "Houston Is Inspired" dominates the south side of Treebeard’s Restaurant, situated across the street from Market Square Park.
