'Black Artists Matter' mural painted in the heart of historic East Austin neighborhood

East Austin:

In many ways, development has displaced the cultural arts traditions of East Austin, long the home of the city’s Black community. Now, its champions — Black artists, creatives and community leaders — are working to restore that soul.

Capitol View Arts and the Austin Justice Coalition, with support from local artists and dozens of volunteers from the Austin area, painted a ‘Black Artists Matter’ mural on East 11th Street the morning of Thursday, June 18 2021. #BlackArtistMatter
