See And Hear What The Village’s Walls Are Saying During Mural Walking Tour

CARLSBAD, Calif. – July 15, 2014 – The Carlsbad Village Association (CVA) brings us its first Village Mural Tour on Aug. 9, a kick-off to its Art in the Village festival on Aug. 10. Attendees will take a visual journey of the Village’s rich culture and artistic talent through the lens of a half dozen murals. From large, playful pieces seen from the center of the Village, to hidden works adorning alley walls, the mural tour will tell the tales behind the art, including the people, places and artists themselves.

The tour will be led by a partnership between the Carlsbad Village Association and New Village Arts, the Village’s award-winning professional theatre and arts company that has sponsored four of the murals.
