San Marcos To Dedicate Newest Murals

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.

The City of San Marcos will dedicate two of the newest mural projects on Monday, Oct.30 and Tuesday, Oct. 31.   

 

The dedication of the Rio Vista Mural, created by local artist Buddy Pajak, will be held at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 30.  Titled “The Locals,” this mural depicts species of animals that are located in the San Marcos River.

 

Crockett Elementary School Mural, created by art teachers Jessica Botello and Amy Hall,

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.
