We are proud to announce that a mural project initiated by our Latino cultural center, Arte Américas, is complete. The mural was painted onto the historic Fresno Bee Building after a long process in its realization. The mural project was funded primarily by The McClatchy Fresno Art Endowment (MFAE) and The California Arts Council and celebrates the San Joaquin Valley's renown as the home of many widely recognized poets and writers. From two U.S. Poet Laureates in recent memory, to children's book writers, award-winning playwrights, novelists, and journalists.
