Community Mural Meeting

Our community focus group for the first major mural is open to stakeholders and citizens of South Pittsburg and will be held via Zoom on 3/22/21 at 6 pm CST. We are also working on synced live stream options for Facebook and Youtube. During the meeting, we will discuss the mural project with our muralist, Ivan Roque. The goal is to encourage your comments to influence the creative process for the mural. Arts in the Burg organizers will ask questions about your experiences in South Pittsburg, and you will have the opportunity to respond to our moderator in chats or comments. After the meeting, we will quantify the responses by word clouding. Our artist will then create two rough sketches, and you will have an opportunity to vote on the final design choice from 4/11/21 to 4/24/21. Just that quickly, you’ve become a part of the art!

THANKS TO ALL WHO ATTENDED! Your feedback was amazing!
