Painting an Inclusive Boise

We’re used to seeing public art around the Treasure Valley. Unique and colorful murals in particular help create a sense of place, turning everyday buildings into eye-catching attractions. And we can’t get enough – we want more!  Today on the podcast, we’re talking with Miguel Almeida, painter, digital artist, and muralist. He reflects on his experience as a first generation Mexican American artist living in Idaho, and why representation in art matters.  You can see Miguel’s murals, “Un Mundo Mejor y Más Verde es Posible” and “Raíces” at Zion Warne Studios and Visionkit Studio in Garden City on Chinden and 33rd St. Also, check out his Instagram!  Do you have a favorite Boise mural?
