  • Street art has existed in Ponce, Puerto Rico, since at least the mid twentieth century. It received a boost from the Ponce municipal authorities in 2017 with the creation of the public-private partnership Ponce es Ley. Since then over four dozen works of art dot the city and, increasingly, the municipality. Street artists have prominently created murals in the Ponce Historic Zone as well as its adjacent areas and barrios. One of the objectives of the Ponce es Ley urban festival event was “to create a ‘street museum’, where people wouldn't have to enter a hall to view works of art,” while also beautifying abandoned or unused buildings in Ponce’s historical streets. It has been said that there is street art in Ponce because ”street art is wed to the big cities, and that is Ponce[, a big city]” The city's street art has been termed “a street museum.” It envisioned a city as a destination for art lovers. Another notable street art project took place in January 2018 at Callejón Trujillo and termed "Murales para Pensar" (Murals to Make You Think). Unlike the Ponce es Ley murals, which portrayed Ponce history, and cultural, musical and architectural themes, Murales para Pensar portrays political, social and economic themes. (en)
