San Antonio's mural scene is adding another installation downtown.

In October, Centro San Antonio will unveil a second wheat paste mural at La Boulangerie. The new artwork is a continuation of a series which started in March, when Michael Cirlos debuted the Peacock Alley wheat paste enlargements of photos from his book, "Humans of San Antonio."

These temporary murals are made of paper which is then pasted to the wall and expected to disintegrate within six to eight months. This allows for the public display of art on historic buildings because the materials do not damage the structures, Cirlos said.

The artist is from Chicago, but was raised in Ontario, Canada, where her artistic style was influence by French culture, Cirlos said. Centro San Antonio discovered Niembro's work on social media and found her aesthetic to be the perfect fit to activate the space. On Instagram, Niembro titled the left side of the upcoming mural "First Kiss Moment."

Centro San Antonio is working to continue adding wheat paste public art around downtown as a way to introduce the city to more local talent.

Those interested in getting involved can email Cirlos at MCirlos@downtownsa.org or follow the organization on Instagram, @downtownsatx. All ages and experience levels are invited to submit artwork for consideration.

Centro San Antonio shared renderings of the mural with mySA.com.
