Throw Up Your Mind
Carlos Rivas (August 2016)

Carlos Rivas, who was the artist-in-residence for ALAC (Arizona Latino Arts and Cultural Center), asked Monarch Theatre owner, Pete Salaz, if he could paint a mural on the back of Monarch Theatre. “THROW UP YOUR MIND,” the sprawling, “spontaneous” result, is admired by touring artists at Monarch Theatre and passersby. Rivas says what he likes most about the finished piece are people’s reactions – in many ways, he says, it “got the ball rolling” on the process of activating the alley. “I also love standing right in front of that wall and just looking up, how big it is,” he says.
