East End Houston Optimism Mural

by Jill Jarvis Leave a Comment

Optimism Begins with you mural in East End Houston

“Optimism Starts with You” is a mural in East End Houston by GONZO247. It’s right at Canal Street and Navigation Boulevard on the southeast-facing wall. This mural is part of the Frost Bank Opt for Optimism campaign.

You are to stand in front of the blue silhouette, take a picture and share it with #optforoptimism! Learn more about the Frost Bank campaign HERE.

You can learn about the Houston artist, Mario E. Figueroa Jr., HERE. I bet you will recognize his work all over the city (like the Houston Is mural by Market Square Park in Downtown).

Navigation Boulevard has lots of art to see on your drive. Also, this East End Houston mural is a five minute drive from the Houston Graffiti Building, so you can easily see even more street art. Go HERE to see all the art in the area!

Also, Discovery Green is less than ten minutes away, so you can easily stop there to play or walk around. Or you can stop at Phoenicia Specialty Foods for lunch.

Street parking around the mural is available, just check the signs before you leave your car.

Optimism Starts with You #OptforOptimism in East End:

Address: 2219 Canal Street, Houston, Texas

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
