My World: Art Cans
Thanks to the My World team, Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Louise, Fishing Guy and Sylvia for making this a world wide event.

Art in public places not only add personality to the community, it also develops creative expression, and promotes participation of the residents, students and other artists. A few miles north of Los Angeles, it is accessible by Metrolink.

Marvelous that the Arts in Santa Clarita Valley happen all year long. The art cans are delightful and I like the Cowboys on the wall; all very colorful!

As always, wonderful shots, Ebie! I love the mural. Our benches around town are painted with different scenes. I wonder how the city workers would react if I painted my mini dumpster…
Hope all is well with you. Have a great week!

I love the variety of murals that has been popping up around the country. The trash can murals are new to me, what a great way to disguise them.

Those trash cans are awesome. That is a very bright idea. Kids will find it fun to throw their trash in it instead of littering anywhere.

Nothing like brightening up the place with painted rubbish bins. So much more decorative.

I second Thom’s opinion of the rubbish cans
My faves are the first and fifth. If you don’t look on the inside it’s as a beautiful an entertainment as it can be.
