Making a Mark
Next week, LP, in collaboration with artist Pablo Serrano, will begin work on its second mural in the Pilsen community. This year's mural, to go up on the corner of May and Cullerton streets will blend traditional muralism with graffiti artwork, exploring the connection between past and present.
The best part? Anyone can join in. If you or someone you know is interested in participating in this year's mural project, please let us know.
