The mural will be a community-guided art project led by Caryl Henry Alexander. The theme will be: Imagining sustainable agroecology for our community's future. This mural installation is part of a larger community arts building project being promoted thorugh the US Department of Arts and Culture. By creating art together as a community, we answer their call: Together: We create the World We Wish to Inhabit!

Many thanks to Caryl Henry Alexander and EcoHermanas for making this gift possible: our first farm art!
