    On Saturday, April 2 at 10 a.m., Visual Arts Alliance (VAA) presents art enthusiasts a unique opportunity to get a first-hand look at the city’s street art scene during a two-hour tour of some of the best murals and street art in the city.

    Lead by Joel Carpenter, local street art expert and curator of www.gulfcoastgraffiti.com, the group will travel by bus through downtown and midtown, offering guests a first-hand look and first-person discussion of the artwork, the lingo and the artists. Several local artists, including Daniel Anguilu, Black Cassidy and Scott Tarbox, have been invited to join the group.

    The Houston Street Art tour will begin at 10 a.m. at Cecil’s Pub, 600 W. Gray Street, 77019. Mimosas will be served to launch the tour plus snacks and adult beverages will be provided. The tour will return to Cecil’s at 12 p.m. and guests are invited to celebrate at a special happy hour.

    The tour is limited to 29 individuals. Tickets are $10 for VAA members and $20 for non-members and registration is online at https://form.jotform.com/VAAPresident/StreetArt.
