The Carlsbad community is invited to a Meet & Greet event at the Carlsbad Art Wall. The event is Saturday January 27 from 10 am until 2 pm and is being coordinated by the school. The purpose of the Meet and Greet is to celebrate the Valley Middle School Visual and Performing Arts Department, teachers and students.
A special feature will be the community creation of a new art wall mural led by Carlsbad artist Bryan Snyder’s art students. This will be the 39th mural since the founding of the Carlsbad Art Wall.
In addition to his new teaching role at Valley Middle School, Bryan Snyder founded the Carlsbad Alley Art Wall. He has also founded other art projects around Carlsbad. The photo is from an earlier Carlsbad Art Wall mural.

This meet and greet event is sure to be lots of fun for the Valley Middle School students and the community to enjoy the following:
Bryan Snyder’s art students will lead the community creation of the new wall mural.
Students and teachers from various Visual and Performing Arts classes attend, and the community can meet these talented individuals.

In case you aren’t familiar with it, the Carlsbad Art Wall is just west of the train tracks. It’s across the street from the Carlsbad Village Faire Shopping Center, as you head for the beach.
Bryan Snyder founded the Carlsbad Art Wall in 2015, in cooperation with the owner of Senor Grubby’s Mexican Restaurant in Carlsbad Village.
The Carlsbad Art Wall is an opportunity for residents and visitors to enjoy temporary public art by local, regional, and sometimes international artists.
