The project is a collaboration between the Academy and award-winning animator Nicolás Villarreal, Director of the School of Visual Development and Red Clover Studios founder. The first hand-painted mural portrait in the #POPUPICON series is open to the public on the side of the Cannery Building at Columbus and Beach.
“There are personalities who have defined our time, who have captured the popular imagination in ways that changed the world. We want to bring them back into our everyday lives by placing them right where everyone can see them, on the streets we walk every day,” says Villarreal.
