If we turn 180 degrees and face away from the Pier you see the 6-story acrylic mega mural, approx. 80-foot high by 56-foot wide Mural painted in 2023 by artist Shepard Fairey. There are many murals created by different artists throughout Santa Monica.
This is a quote about the mural from the artist: "Santa Monica is a beautiful place with a vibrant history filled with creators and rebels from surf, skate, and music culture. No neighborhood is one-dimensional, so I chose to emphasize themes and bits of history related to Santa Monica that I most enjoy. I’m drawn to the hippie spirit of the neighborhood, which is welcoming of all types, the natural beauty, ocean air, and the way the Pacific Ocean Park once it was abandoned, provided a fertile wasteland for surfers and skaters to flourish."
As you walk through Santa Monica keep a look out for the dozens of beautiful Murals throughput the community. Weve added a few images of some of these mucrals.
