In an effort to create a pathway to racial equality, the City of Redwood City is recreating a reflection of the diversity of the city and its residents through a new mural, which will be downtown across from the city's bookstore.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project supported by the Redwood City Council, Redwood City Arts Commission, and the Racial Equity Steering Commission was presented to the public on Wednesday, June 16 with an invitation to the community to participate and promote their ideas for this new mural.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of this first meeting held by the city was to hear opinions, suggestions and to introduce the purpose and location of the new work. The presentation was led by Ashley Quintana and Erin Ashford along with 8 committee members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A commitment was made to the city and the community to promote social justice and enhance community togetherness by inviting artists and design teams to make this mural a true communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the first meeting, the organizing committee was introduced, and the search for an artist on issues of social justice and racial equality, fundamental to this project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the wake of the recent months of protests following the death of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer, and the clear call for a more inclusive country, Redwood City has joined with the community to raise its voice with this mural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The committee will meet again next Wednesday, July 28th to analyze their proposals and the work of artists interested in these themes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city is inviting artists from all levels of the Bay Area along with people of color, and people from underserved communities to apply to be part of this new mural, which will be open until July 8. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
