The Mural is part of a concentrated effort to acknowledge the history and cultures upon which the apartment complex now exists
The mural will have the dimensions of 10' by 32'-4" (ten feet wide by thirty-two feet, four inches tall) The Mural will be completed with professional-grade, exterior latex paint, and will receive an anti graffiti coating over the finished work.
Production of the mural is scheduled to begin in August/September of 2023 depending on the construction process and inclement weather. The artist has proposed a 3 week production period The Arts Consortium is the acting Arts Council for Tulare County. We teamed up with Self Help Enterprises to promote this mural opportunity and received responses from as far as Philadelphia. Self-Help Enterprises is a nationally recognized community development organization whose mission is to work together with low-income families to build and sustain healthy homes and communities.
Eric Rodriguez provided the winning submission. He has produced murals in the Downtown Visalia area, namely on the doors of Game Core, which have been long lasting parts of our Downtown Visalia art-scape. His conceptualization of the union between land and cultures was an automatic favorite amongst a professionally diverse selection panel.
The artist's concept was focused on melding land, culture, and nourishment into a cohesive work. The artist successfully creates a visual reference to agriculture and local wilderness within the lower portions of the composition. The central portion of the work focuses on shapes that echo architecture found in the heart of Visalia such as the Darling Hotel and the Post Office on Acequia Ave. The left most part of the composition pays tribute to tribal patterning observed by the artist on ceremonial garb that has been associated with the previously prolific Mariposa Tribe (often referred to as Yokut). The top- most portion makes reference to an orange fruit that also doubles as a sun and gives the composition a visual and conceptual focal point. This mural will surely resonate with our community as something never before seen but also extremely familiar.
Self Help Enterprises will oversee the maintenance of the walls and the artist, Eric Rodriguez will retain "first right of refusal" for any touch-ups or repairs due to vandalism. The mural will be finished with a graffiti resistant coat.
