In January of 2021, Green Hope Project invited individuals to embrace their mediums and raise their voices through ART, ADVOCACY, ACTIVISM, and through our collective HOPE. The call was for artists to depict what they felt “Racial Harmony” meant to them. 3 of the Racial Harmony contest winners were chosen to have their work turned into a mural! You can see the progress throughout the next several weeks, as this mural goes up downtown at 601 S. El Paso Street. A HUGE thank you to the building owner, Jorge Hernandez, for allowing us the blank canvas & Downtown Management District for accepting our grant application and helping us to fund this meaningful message. Artists are Desiree Araga and her Mentor Katie Gelinas, Diane Vera-Ureno and Ramiro Ordonez
