Together We Are/Juntos Somos Mural Unveiling

Lott Pocket Park

Tickets

5:00 pm

Join us to see the full design of this colorful new mural designed by Color Squad, a Creative Action teen public arts collective! We’ve partnered with GirlForward, a local organization dedicated to supporting refugee girls who have been displaced by conflict and persecution, to bring this intentional and meaningful art piece to East Austin.

The mural explores the vision of a truly inclusive community, with the belief that what makes us different makes us stronger.

At the event, we’ll have BBQ from Micklethwait Craft Meats, live music by Cecil Lockwood, mural tours led by our teen artists, a splash pad, and art activities!

The event is family-friendly and FREE.
