New mural adorns Buffalo Pass
Monday, October 4, 2021 by Tai Moses
A 140-foot-long mosaic mural festooned in 600 pounds of colored glass serves as the new gateway to the Southern Oaks neighborhood, thanks to more than 200 volunteers working under the guidance of artist Ryah Christensen. The mural on Buffalo Pass was the brainchild of Southern Oaks Neighborhood Association with support from the city’s Neighborhood Partnering Program. See a photo essay of the mural project in progress here. Nearly 60 other community-initiated projects have been installed around Austin since the NPP launched in 2010.
