Wayland Patch 1/24/12: Eco-Art Comes to Wayland's Viva Mexican Grill. An effort that began many months ago is continuing to take shape for Fireseed, a local eco-art organization founded by Dan Balther and Peter Vazquez. On Thursday, Jan. 19, Viva Mexican Grill and Taquileria welcomed guests to an artists' reception and showcase of the new artwork that now brings color and movement to the restaurant's walls. As hungry patrons enjoyed their meal Thursday night, members of the business community and supporters of the arts mingled in the Viva dining room, admiring the art and, later in the night, enjoying live music. Vazquez plays in the band Los Sugar Kings. Paintings by Balter and fellow eco-artist Jason Parris Fitz-Gerald adorn the walls, while lightboxes created by Vazquez glow in the restaurant's entry. Each project looks, from a distance, to be a quality piece of artwork created by traditional means, but closer examination (or perhaps a conversation with the artists) reveals that each piece is created from recycled or repurposed "trash."
