Art – Joe's World Tour

Fort Lauderdale murals

I always love it when I stumble across artwork out in public.

These murals are about a block or so away from Fort Lauderdale Beach not far from the intersection of A1A and Sunrise Boulevard.

To find them, look for the Primanti Brothers pizza place on A1A and wander around the shops and parking lots behind there.

Murals of Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood

What was an industrial and warehouse section of Miami north of downtown is now largely covered with colorful murals.

The best known section of this is the Wynwood Walls, which is surrounded by shops, restaurants and bars.

I spent some time just a few blocks away and found myself wandering by myself around an area that was off the beaten path near a construction site and yet still had plenty of amazing art work to explore.

Public art in Virginia Beach

Virginia Beach has strong ties to the military, especially with its location not far from Norfolk, Virginia.

A lot of the public art in Virginia Beach reflects that. Some, however, is more whimsical.

Scottsdale’s Museum of the West

Just a block away from the main strip of restaurants, bars and shops in Old Town Scottsdale, Arizona, is Scottsdale’s Museum of the West. A few statues outside of the museum will give you just a taste of what awaits inside.
