Art attack in Carson City: swinging and swirling around a blowball

Commissioned mural created by Bryce Chisholm, seen from S Minnesota St./W Second St. intersection in Carson City (January 2019)

The blowball

The Brewery Arts Center in Carson City celebrates art, music, dance, theater and all the arts [1]. Nothing expresses this celebration of cultural confluence better than the merry wall painting on South Minnesota Street: a young girl blows the seeds from a dandelion seed head and the swirling seeds are turning into notes. Watch and you will hear the music!

The Arts Center website features the mural under the title “Strings of Imagination” [2]. The artist is Reno-based Bryce Chisholm, whose portfolio includes mural arts. Bryce Chisholm describes his style of art as “a clash of fine art and street” [3]. The street in front of the commissioned mural has been remodeled into a gathering area with picnic tables—or are they drafting tables? Anyway, a great community place to relax, enjoy outdoor art and get inspired by art and artists.

Can you hear the music?
