Artist call

A community mural for the Center

We're looking for an artist to paint an LGBTQ+-inspired mural that celebrates who we are: our pride, our history, our joy, and the community building this place. LGBTQ+ artists are especially encouraged, allies are welcome, and local to the Coastal Bend is a plus.
