THE SEEDS OF DREAMS

The Seeds of Dreams is a tribute to the vibrant Latine communities of Summit County, Colorado, shining a spotlight on the unwavering dedication and resilience of Latine workers quietly working behind the scenes to establish roots and harvest dreams. Through a series of portraits, this exhibition pays homage to individuals who contribute to the fabric of society, toiling in the food industry, maintenance, and nonprofit sectors, tirelessly advocating for workers’ rights, and striving for a just, equitable, and inclusive world.

Now Art LA and Walmart are working together to bring more art to public spaces by including murals created by local artists in each store. Walmart’s mural program celebrates communities across the country. The locations are selected by Walmart staff, and artists are prompted to include cultural references identified by the Walmart team. The images above are murals comprised of hand-printed block prints. The locations are in Porter Ranch, National City, and Fresno. They hang directly above the Walmart greeting area. This program helps to share the work of local artists with new audiences and I am grateful for the support.
