Painting the town red – and green‚ blue and yellow – continues in San Angelo’s downtown district‚ with two new outdoor art projects unveiled in 2007.

A huge display called “Art Opens Doors” is now featured on the exterior of J B Automotive on South Oakes Street. The project involved 17 local artists who painted various images on doors hung on the building. Nearby‚ a painting/sculpture called The Cat Burglars now dresses up a West Beauregard Avenue building‚ between Wells Fargo Bank and Farmers Insurance.

The downtown buildings of San Angelo have been coming to life since 2002‚ when an AlleyScapes initiative began. Several large murals now grace the district‚ with the art community planning more to come.
