Escalante Youth Mural Reception

Join us in celebrating the completion of a brand new mural at the Escalante Multi-Generational Center! This new mural brings a rich, vibrant scene into the center's Youth Room, a hub for activity and recreation.

Mix and mingle with the community members and meet muralist Ignacio Garcia, who crafted the mural based on ideas from the youth who regularly use the space. The mural depicts a fantasy world of play and imagination.

Ignacio Garcia is well known throughout the Southwest for his 3D chalk street art commissions, large photo-realistic murals and modern visual art collections of original works. His murals can be found throughout Arizona and across the country.
