Funk Zone Art Mural

The Funk Zone mural on the side of the building near the railroad tracks features a giant, colorful portrait of a surfer whose silhouette breaks into smaller, geometric shapes. This concrete wall sits where the city’s industrial past meets its modern tourism scene. In the nineteen eighties, this area held only auto shops and empty warehouses. Local artists began painting these walls to transform the gritty neighborhood, often using bright, defiant spray paint colors that turned the industrial silence into a community gallery.
