FLORIDA MURALS

Florida murals adorn the building walls in many of the state's small towns and some larger cities.  

The first murals I remember noticing were in Lake Placid in the early 1990s.  

The downtown area was transformed into something special by the many murals covering the walls of previously drab buildings. Lake Placid has more than 40 murals.

In the years I've been traveling in Florida, I have noticed an ever increasing number of towns that proudly display this art.

 In many cases, local artists are encouraged to produce murals that feature highlights of a town's history.

The art work inevitably brighten up the areas where they are located and make it hard to be gloomy when you are around them.

There are so many towns that have murals I can't list them all, but here are some examples (in alphabetical order).  

More towns are adding murals and this list is just a start.  One of the links at the bottom of this web page will take you to some websites that feature more murals.
