The mural light show premiered Monday night



A few lucky Grovites who came out at sunset on Monday night were treated to the new mural at Grand and Matilda come alive. It was lit up and the electronic show did its thing. The lights react to your emotions and heartbeat. This project was funded by the Coconut Grove BID.


It was a test run and still needs to be tweeked, but those present loved the show.
Monty Trainer, who was there said, "It's beautiful. Perfect for the Grove, but we don't want to turn into Wynwood." Commissioner Ken Russell who was also present felt the same, "No, we don't want to overdo it and turn the Grove into Wynwood." AnnaMaria Windisch-Hunt called it, "The future of murals."


James Brazil, one of the artists, did an incredible Grove-like piece of work. It fits in with the Grove. It says Coconut Grove. As you remember, I interviewed the other artist, Xenz, who was concerned that he was all sweaty and messy in that video. My friend Liz Gibson walked up to him on Monday night and asked, "Aren't you the sweaty guy?" Xenz laughed and said, "Yes, that's me!"


It was a fun evening. Stop by any night after sunset to see the show.

I remember Tony Goldman saying that he wanted to get rid of the ArtWalk, forgetting that that was the catalyst that filled his establishments all month.
