WACO, TX â There is a new mural in town, and it features art from local talents.
Creative Waco s ARTrenticeship Program consisted of 14 Waco ISD students who worked alongside local artists to create the new mural, Tree of Life.
Artists say the mural aligns with the mission of many upcoming projects in east Waco. It was time to bring some light back into the community, said Tashita Bible, a local artist. Most of the time, you have newcomers and people who come into Waco who do not know the history. It s telling the stories of residents, such as the Harvey family, Dorris Miller. So you have rich history and storylines up here, said Vincent Thomas, the lead artist.
