The Rodeo On The Move Beautification Project
This project will involve the design, creation, and installation of a large-scale ceramic tile mural on the inner concrete sides of the 7th Street bridge in Rodeo, reflecting the unique cultural, historical, and environmental identity of the community. The piece aims to celebrate diversity, walkability, environment, and e-walkers on the Rodeo Creek trail, as well as drivers and pedestrians crossing the bridge.
The design will incorporate imagery representing diversity, community, and nature. The murals will be brightly colored narrative pieces showing only the depictions of children and animals. It will showcase a diverse community interacting with each other in harmony. The murals will consist of a large segment background mosaic of broken tiles in blues.
