Dave
Loewenstein
is a muralist, writer, and printmaker based in Lawrence, Kansas. In addition to
his more than twenty public works in Kansas, examples of his dynamic and richly
colored community-based murals can be found across the United States in Missouri,
Oklahoma, Arizona, Arkansas, Texas, South Dakota, Mississippi, Iowa, Chicago,
New Orleans and 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, a 2007 Kansas Notable Book Award Winner, 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.
