Ogden's Urban Art

Ogden City has made an effort to beautify some of its urban spaces through creativity.  What is a barren concrete facade to one becomes a blank canvass to another.  Here are a few photos from around Ogden City of such efforts:



These two above murals are located at the parking facility at 23rd St. and Washington Avenue.  Interestingly, this one below is on the brick buildings adjacent to it:


Of course, almost everyone is familiar with this one on 24th St. and Grant that greets you as you enter the city from I-15:


Finally, a parking garage is probably the place that needs the most decoration.  Here is an interesting work that ties in the concrete supports to make them part of the painting. 


Kudos to those making our city interesting and vivacious.

It's funny, I drive by these all the time, but never stop to take the time and appreciate them.
