Description
Community Murals Magazine - Volume 11 No. 4 - Winter 1986 Community Murals Magazine was the preeminent international clearinghouse for information and analysis of this vibrant field of art for 10 years. Community Murals started its publication in 1977 as a newsletter becoming a quarterly magazine in 1979. It ceased publication in 1987. The magazine covered the community mural movement that strive to bring art to the people by creating large murals in public spaces. It was published in San Francisco, one of the centers of the movement, and featured articles and news items from all over the world (with a certain bias toward the West Coast).
