More about local art from The City of Temecula:
The City of Temecula, Community Services Department, and the Temecula Valley Museum announce a new Temecula Art Mural at Sam Hicks Monument Park (28300 Mercedes Street). This temporary public art piece recognizes Mental Health Awareness Month. The mural presents the theme: Mental Health Matters and showcase the incredible skill of twenty-four students from Great Oak High School (GOHS). The Temecula Art Mural Project seeks to support local artists by providing a space to showcase their craft. Artists have the opportunity to paint a large-scale mural on varying topics, facilitated by Bigfoot Art Classes. For the months of MAY & JUN of 2024, we recognize the importance of mental health. GOHS Seniors, Fionna Hoffman & Mia Osborne state about their mural, "This mural shows the fact that like a tree, your mental health needs to be nurtured and taken care of, but it can also grow and become strong like a large tree. The flowers, bark of the tree, and leaves of the tree symbolize how we all need to come together to truly grow as strong as we can and to create the best lives for each other and ourselves." The museum will also celebrate Mother’s Day & Father’s Day through facts and free crafts in the museum’s Art and Education Room. All are welcome! For more information, call 951-694-6450.
