AnySquared collectively-painted mural was our biggest group project of 2017. We worked on it from the July/August proposals through painting the mural September 9th–November 20th when we sealed the mural.
The community around Kilbourn Park voted on several proposals from our group and chose Tracy Kostenbader’s rendering/design/art interpretation of Rosa Pineda’s concept for this year’s AnySquared group project that included many artists’ participation. (Thanks Jacob Ramirez, Ramadi Asati, Orlando Samuel Martinez, Carlos Vazquez, Gretchen Hasse, Holiday Gerry, and The Alley Cat 1 for also submitting proposals).
