The 5th annual MuralFest is underway in downtown Corpus Christi, bringing the community together one tile at a time.<\/p>\n
The event kicked off, Saturday, May 30, with a community-building project where residents painted individual tiles that will become part of a larger community mural.<\/p>\n
The mural will include 600 hand-painted tiles, each representing a member of the community. About 200 tiles have been completed, with hundreds more to go before June 6th.<\/p>\n
Arlene Medrano, executive director of the Downtown Management District, said:<\/p>\n
“It’s just a reminder of what we can accomplish together. This is a community love mural. It’s a significance of this year’s mural selection.”<\/p>\n
The finished community love mural will be displayed on the 600 block of Chaparral Street, serving as a reminder of what can be accomplished when people come together.<\/p>\n
Five murals will be unveiled June 5 as part of MuralFest x ArtWalk. On June 6, there will be an artist summit.<\/p>\n
