More fantastic street murals have been popping up in City Heights!
Artists have been painting all sorts of new murals along University Avenue, primarily between I-805 and I-15. Most have been created for #theavenuemuralproject. According to Carlos Quezada of Love City Heights, brand new murals have been debuting almost every month!
On Sunday I was shown a bunch that were recently completed. Each new mural uniquely enriches this proud, culturally diverse community. Artists, volunteers and neighbors have been coming together one wall at a time to make a positive difference for all.
And the future is bright! The stretch of University Avenue between I-805 and I-15 is a growing “drive-through” art gallery with truly unlimited potential. Muralists of local, national and even international renown are showing an interest in City Heights.
Victor Ochoa, one of the world’s most famous muralists, a pioneer of San Diego’s Chicano art movement, will be creating an amazing new masterpiece on University Avenue later this year!
To see some of these new murals, check out my previous two blog posts.
The following photographs show even more!

Love it, Richard. Think of all the great artists that are being and will be created because of the mural work, and how it unites communities. –Curt

The first is at University Avenue and Wilson Avenue, the second is on the east side of Super Cocina, and the third is on the long low wall along University Avenue east of 50th Street. Unfortunately, the mural by Victor Ochoa never came to fruition. You can contact Love City Heights to get the full rundown on all the murals!
