The APS Art Mural Project has been a remarkable journey, led by the Arts & Humanities Commission and joined by the CG Mosaic Creative Communities Team and APS representatives. Together, they launched a pilot project that proved to be a huge success. Thanks to the generosity of the CG Mosaic Creative Communities Team, artists were able to receive $500 to cover the cost of supplies and labor and an additional $500 for the winning artist. Nine (9) local artists responded to the Request for Artist Proposals, and six (6) of those artists submitted final artwork and were assigned boxes throughout the city. The Casa Grande Union High School Art Club was selected but decided to complete its box as part of Phase II, which will take place in the fall.
This project has been a huge success, and the Commission and APS are thrilled with the results. They are already planning to expand the project to include City-owned boxes as well. With Phase II beginning this fall, it's clear that this project is not only inspiring but also a testament to the power of collaboration and community.
