This article has been edited to accurately reflect the artists of the Dolores Huerta mural.

Milwaukeeans know how to take advantage of the precious time when the weather’s nice — that includes muralists.

In this gallery, check out three impressive murals recently created by artists Isabel Castro, GirlMobb, Nyia Luna and Tia Richardson.

Artists GirlMobb and Nyia Luna honor Dolores Huerta, labor rights legend and co-founder of United Farm Workers, on the 1200 block of South Cesar Chavez Drive. (All photos by Adam Carr)
