WX Freeway Bright Underbelly

Conceived by local arts, a mural project called Bright Underbelly could transform the underside of the W/X freeway with a sprawling sky-blue canopy, bringing new life to the blank concrete surface that looms above where thousands gather every Sunday for the Sacramento Central Farmers’ Market. Renderings of the ambitious 70,000-square-foot piece were released this morning. To paint the mural, approximately $150,000 in financial pledges necessary to bring the mural to fruition.
