The Birth of Wynwood Walls
The concept of Wynwood Walls was conceived in 2009 by the late Tony Goldman, a visionary community revitalizer and placemaker. Recognizing the warehouse district’s ample wall spaces as blank canvases, Goldman was inspired to develop a concentrated zone of murals that would encourage the creation of artworks that would transform the district. Wynwood Walls has since become a focal point for the international street art movement, inviting world-renowned artists to contribute their work and elevate the area’s aesthetic and cultural appeal.
