The dedication of the Crockett Elementary School Mural, created by art teachers Jessica Botello and Amy Hall, will be held at 9:15 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 31.
The mural depicts flora and fauna native to our region. Community paint days were held to allow children and families to participate in the process.
The two murals are bringing life and color to once drab areas that were subject to many instances of illegal graffiti.
The San Marcos Mural Arts Program is a city project designed to deter graffiti, beautify all areas of town, and support the local arts community. Funds for the program are allocated from the City’s hotel occupancy tax collections. These mural designs were chosen after a public call for artists last spring.
