Boulder County Arts Alliance and One Action Arts & Immigration have teamed up to bring internationally renowned artist Rafael Lopez to Boulder to create a new mural for our city. Students from University Hill have shared their families' stories with him to inspire his design. Come see him create the mural and even lend a hand! This will be a community project with live music.

Rafael López grew up in Mexico City, and his work is a fusion of strong graphic style and magical symbolism from being immersed in the rich cultural heritage and native color of street life. Influenced by Mexican surrealism, dichos and myths, he developed a style with roots in these traditions. His work on the Urban Art Trail Project transformed San Diego’s blighted East Village with colorful murals. This was the catalyst for development of a graphic style giving children and families the opportunity to paint large scale murals with the artist. Additional murals can be found in Ft. Collins, Colorado; California; Illinois; and Washington.
