Since social distancing practices and stay-at-home orders have affected Austin’s public art installations, Jessica Love of Urbane Design is giving local muralists a chance to maintain their craft amidst the pandemic. In July, Love launched The Backyard Project, a private art exhibition in her own backyard. Love plans to hold private viewing parties throughout the year, giving the artists’ work unique exposure to her family, friends, clients and colleagues. We heard from her about her inspiration behind this project and ways to find creative inspiration.
