A la Iniciativa del Distrito Centro de Bend (Bend Central District Initiative), un proyecto del Central Oregon LandWatch, hemos estado trabajando durante meses en las etapas iniciales de un proyecto mural en el túnel de la calle Franklin.

The design phase of ProyectoMural is underway! Since our last update, we’ve held two lively focus groups to help guide the mural’s design.

#ProyectoMural has moved into its next stage and we are very excited to introduce you to our collaborators! We have partnered with Mecca Bend, a local Latinx community organization that offers DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) services, to collaborate on the vision and direction for our next mural in the Franklin underpass. Janet Sarai Llerandi Gonzalez, the director of Mecca Bend, gathered a diverse group of Latinx stakeholders who live, work, and commute in the Bend Central District to provide direction on the project. From their input, we have updated the project name to #ProyectoMural!

We are seeking an experienced, collaborative, Spanish-speaking artist to co-design and install Phase Two of #ProjectUnderpass in the North Pedestrian Railroad Tunnel of the Franklin Avenue Underpass in Bend, Oregon during late summer/early fall, 2020.

Estamos buscando un artista experimentado, colaborativo y hispanohablante para co-diseñar e instalar la fase dos de #ProjectUnderpass en el túnel del paso subterráneo de Franklin Avenue en Bend, Oregon a finales de Verano/Otoño de 2020.
