Murals

MKT Houston Heights is open now along the Heights bike trail. The architecture is eye-catching and the murals are beautiful. My favorite is the astronaut mural!

MKT has shops, dining, entertainment and outdoor space for events. To appreciate how cool this is, you should really look at the pictures and video on the MKT website.

The astronaut mural at MKT Houston Heights looks like it is by artist Michael Rodriguez… but that’s just my guess because I am a fan of his work. It looks like details are about to be revealed soon. If you know for sure, let us know!

The Unicorn sign is just past the mural. Coming from I10, MKT is on the right between 6th and 7th on Shepherd. To get to the back of the complex, stay to the right of the Shepherd Street bridge (otherwise the bridge takes you over 7th Street and the bike trail).

There is free parking in the lot and on the surrounding streets. (The only tricky thing is that Shepherd is oneway and you have to stay on the surface streets and not the bridge.)

We’re adding to the Houston Mural Map with the Hold It Down mural in Downtown Houston! It’s by artist Anat Ronen. (Learn about the mural HERE.)

It is located close to Minute Maid Park and across the highway from BBVA Compass Stadium. My pictures are not great, but you can see both the Dash and Dynamo represented. See a better picture HERE!

This mural is it the middle of some one way streets, but after a couple loops around we found it (facing the highway). Paid parking is available nearby.

The mural is awesome but it was hard to get a good picture with the cars and electrical boxes, but you may have better luck!

Look up at The Calm and the Courage mural, by Gonzo247! It’s at Camden Downtown and includes two walls. (See the drone video HERE!)

This mural is off the ground and you might miss it from the sidewalk by the Camden, but you can get a good view from next door… right at the DowntownMars mural!

You can park in the paid lot behind the DowntownMars mural or in the metered street parking. (There is plenty of parking available these days.)

Now this is amazing! Three sides of the Texas Direct Auto building are covered in art! The #DowntownMars Mural is by Sebastien “Mr.D 1987” Boileau and Eyeful Art.

Two sides of the building look like Mars… and one side is our favorite astronaut dog. (Pssst… I’d say astronaut bear, but there are little bones, so I’m going to guess dog.)

Easy metered street parking is available… or you can park in the paid lot connected to the building. (Just check signs before you leave your car.)

Also, from this same parking lot, you’ll get a good look at the Houston mural on Camden Downtown.

Have you seen the #TheLoveWall at Media Systems yet? It’s beautiful!

Wrapped on two sides of the building… the front is the rainbow that matches the art deco style of the building and the side says Love, Give and Serve.

This building is right on Washington Avenue. You can easily find it, but to get a good picture, you will need to go across the street.

There is street parking behind the building that it is very full. There are restaurant parking lots… but either be quick and snap a photo or go grab a coffee.

Address: 6150 Bissonnet Street, Houston, Texas 77081

Just across the parking lot from busy Bissonnet, along the side of Salvation Army, is a really big, really colorful mural. You can easily see it from the street… but if traffic had not been backed up, I might have missed it!

I’ve been looking for more information on it, and it looks like it’s a Growing a Brighter Tomorrow in Gulfton mural… but if you have more information on the artist, please let us know!

There is a lot of free parking in front of the mural. The parking lot is a little rough (ie broken sign posts), but there is plenty of room.

This mural is very close to Bayland Park, so if you play sports there… it’s an easy detour. And be sure to go HERE for more Houston area murals!

Address: 2302 Strand St, Galveston, TX

This week’s mural is right on The Strand in Galveston. Greetings from Galveston is at Saengerfest Park, in the middle of the popular shops and restaurants. (Saengerfest Park is not a playground park, instead it is a pedestrian square… used for concerts and community events.)

This mural was completed many years ago by artist Gabriel Prusmack . (You should check out more of his work HERE!)

There is metered street parking throughout the area. If you are willing to walk a little, there is free street parking further south. (Look around the Railroad Museum.)
