Some of you may recall that Shepard Fairey was in Pittsburgh back in August during the Netroots Nation shindig and put up 10 murals around town. The murals are both a statement to the G20 leaders to support efforts addressing climate change, and a precursor to his exhibit “Supply and Demand” which will be opening at the Andy Warhol Museum on October 18.
Well, I finally had a day-off and some time to ride around and try to find them all. I was, happily, successful and thought that others might like to play a similar game of hide and seek the Shepard Fairey murals. These murals are all located outside the G20 security zone and very bikable. I would say it takes about 1.5 hours by bike to see them all.
Here is a description of the murals and locations that I am also offering on an RSS Feed. If you have a phone that connects to the web, use this feed to guide you on your journey.
You can also follow this link to Pop City’s article on the murals and fabulous Google map showing locations.
