Architectural Details of Shreveport Murals by Roberto Salas

Architectural designs title sign



In 1998 Roberto Salas and a group of Shreveport artists used architectural details of Shreveport buildings to paint 12 murals based on those pieces of architecture.  Other contributing artists include: Abby Fowler, Barry Galloway Donna Service, Buddy West, and John Rivers Bicknell.  ( Sorry if I forgot anyone, or attributed a mural that wasn't part of the project)  My goal is to find all 12, I've found 8, and three of them were painted over, I'm suspecting the other 4 were painted over or I'm not counting smaller murals that are next to each other separately.
