“Every town in Texas has a story worth telling. These murals will bring the creativity, character and spirit of these communities to life,” said Susanne Brady-Lusk, president of Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages.
Each winning city will receive a one-of-a-kind mural designed to reflect its history, culture and identity, with organizers describing the works as future landmarks meant to bring people together while highlighting what makes each community special.
