The City of Las Vegas, Las Vegas Arts Commission sponsored this Artist Residency which involved designing the mural and facilitating its creation with the staff and artists of Opportunity Village Art Enrichment Program. To accommodate the participation of the Opportunity Village artists, the mural was created at their Opportunity Village facility on eight 4' x 8' plywood panels. It was installed at the top of the external south wall of the Opportunity Village Thrift Store spanning 64 feet.

Location:  921 South Main Street, Las Vegas (Between Bonneville and Charleston Blvd.)
