The City of San Marcos, in partnership with Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers, is seeking proposals from artists and/or artist teams to design and create a mural on the retaining wall located at the restaurant.

- Food security
- Farm-to-table
- Community gardens
- Solving childhood hunger
- Local establishments with longstanding contribution to feeding our community
- Images related to the above artistic themes
