Dave Loewenstein is a muralist, writer, and printmaker

community-based murals can be found across the United States in
Missouri, Oklahoma, Arizona, Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas, Ohio, South Dakota, Iowa, Chicago, New Orleans, New York City and in Northern Ireland and South Korea. Loewenstein’s prints, which
focus on current social and political issues, are exhibited nationally
and are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Yale University, and
the Center for the Study of Political Graphics in Los Angeles.
He is the co-author of Kansas
Murals: A Traveler’s Guide, published by the University Press of Kansas;
and is the subject of “Called to Walls,” a feature length documentary
premiering in early 2016. In 2014,
he was named one of the founding Cultural Agents for the new U.S. Department
of Arts and Culture, and this spring he will be leading multiple mural
projects in Brazil on a project coordinated by the Meridian Center for Cultural
Diplomacy.
