Summer—otherwise known as mural season—is almost upon us, and thus standout projects are beginning to crash our shores. Here's one, delivered by tipster, that's set to liven up a daunting viaduct underpass at Addison & Avondale. The underpass is a gateway to the Avondale neighborhood when arriving from the Addison Blue Line station and deserves to be treated as such, argues the project's initiator Joanie Friedman. Illustrator/muralist Rafael Lopez has already sketched out the design which emphasizes cross-cultural pollination in Avondale and the city as a whole. The project is working to enlist youth and adult volunteers as well as financial support for its June kick-off. Check out the video clip for more! [YouTube, image via mural Facebook page]
