New Phoenix mural to showcase Latino heritage
May 5
A massive mural project is underway in Phoenix, where one of Arizona’s major utility companies is building an electric substation that will serve as the canvas for artwork illustrating local history, arts and culture.
The project is titled La Flor Del Pueblo and named after a community garden serving as a gathering place for Grant Park, a neighborhood with a strong Latino heritage.
The La Flor Del Pueblo mural project will adorn the new Arizona Public Service facility that will be located in one of central Phoenix’s oldest areas.
Jim Covarrubias, artist and curator, joined us to discuss. Covarrubias has been collecting stories, photos and documents about the neighborhood.
