A new large-scale mural by artist John Osgood is bringing bold color and neighborhood energy to San Pedro Street in downtown San Jose. Stretching approximately 650 feet along a temporary construction wall by the parking structure near Market St. and W. St. John St., the work features Osgood’s signature birds framed by graphic clouds and radiant beams are a visual celebration of resiliency, adaptation, and everyday wonder.
Conceived after Osgood installed his art at @DistrictSJ on San Pedro Street, the mural quickly took flight thanks to coordination from our Street Life team, and support from local businesses. 🦉
It`s all part of SJDA`s ongoing effort to beautify public spaces in Downtown San Jose.
