the fish bowl, a mural

Yesterday was a good day to visit The Point neighborhood in Salem to see new murals that were created in October.

Twenty Massachusetts-based artists were selected for this year's Call for Art, inspired by Nina Simone’s “I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free" installed their murals on the National Grid Wall on Peabody Street in Salem.

Graffiti artist JEKS from Greensboro, North Carolina installed a new large-scale mural in the Point neighborhood. The mural titled "the fish bowl" can be viewed on Dodge Street, behind the Walgreens. It was commissioned by Hampton Inn.

I found a number of the new murals installed on the National Grid Wall to be very interesting, but the one that really stood out for me was the large mural created by JEKS titled "the fish bowl".
