What brought Australian artist Georgia Hill to downtown Lynn last month? A mural, to put it simply.
But if you ask her or Beyond Walls founder Al Wilson, it’s much bigger than that. Wilson lured artists from across the globe to lend their talents to a creative movement that has the city buzzing with energy, enterprise, arts and culture and will for years to come.
