Opt for Optimism

New Pearl district mural spreads optimism when we need it the most

Everyone could use a smile right now, and Frost Bank is ready to supply it with a new mural going up near the Pearl.

It's the latest project in Frost Bank's Opt for Optimism campaign, in partnership with CultureMap. The colorful new artwork is based around the idea that optimism may start with one person, but it can easily ripple out through small acts and thoughtful moments, therefore changing the people and communities around you. 

Street artist duo Los Otros, made up of Shek Vega and Nik Soupè, are behind the new mural, which features a silhouette that will encourage passersby to stand in its place for photo opps (when we're allowed out of the house again, that is).

If those names sound familiar, it's because the team is the same behind this uplifting mural created in 2018.

Follow along with CultureMap as we give you an exclusive artist interview about what inspired the mural and what it will look like when completed.

You can find the mural at 125 W. Grayson St., on the West Clay block wall.
